"Mankind is faced with a number of difficult questions that we've got no satisfactory answers to. So now two possibilities present themselves: We can either fool ourselves and the world by pretending that we know all there is to know, or we can shut our eyes to the central issues once and for all and abandon all progress. In this sense, humanity is divided. People are, generally speaking, either dead certain or totally indifferent."
Self-opinionated know-it-alls
who are satisfied with what little they know,
or who boast of knowing a whole lot about subjects
they haven't the faintest notions of.
For really, wisest is she who knows she does not know.
