Words To The Wise

Submitted by ub on

Why have we, as a bright civilization, reached a state, where we accept that all sorts of uneducated nutcases are habitual liars?

In my first classroom, I remember our teacher repeating, "a word to the wise is sufficient."

Too many individuals who call themselves leaders or public servants inflate themselves as fake experts in all fields.

Today, most stupid people claim to have all the answers, while all the intelligent ones continue asking questions.

Knowledge, gained through studying new information, consists of vast data storage. 

Wisdom, on the other hand, has to do more with insight, understanding, and accepting of the fundamental 'nature' of things in life

Just asking for a friend in need, if the immoral majority continues to behave this same way, then how is this ever going to end well? 

  •  What is reality? ...
  •  What is life? ...
  •  Do we have free will? ...
  •  Is the universe deterministic? ...
  •  What is consciousness? ...
  •  Will we ever have a theory of everything?
