The Fundamental Cause of the Trouble Is

 

The fundamental cause of the trouble is 

that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure 

while the intelligent are full of doubt

The stupid are cocksure because 

they can’t be bothered to reflect;

Intelligent people are full of doubt because

 they have been reflecting too much.

Without the effort of thinking, 

human beings would never learn anything;

And if they did not learn anything they would 

never know that what they know is not enough.

The stupid do not know enough to be doubtful 

and are therefore sure;

People who do know enough to be doubtful 

know too much to remain sure.

The intelligent man is always one who 

knows exactly how inadequate his knowledge is.
