    The difference between intelligent and stupid people is that intelligent people know that they don’t know a lot of things but stupid people think they know everything.

      Yeah, that was dumb criticism at the time and still is. It sounds/looks silly but known known, known unknown, and unknown unknown are all clear and useful concepts

      Ah yes, an intellectual that has been around since the 60s is a Russian fascist plant. Let’s forget that Chomsky has no right wing background at all. Let’s just drool all of what we know and show the world how soft our grey matter is.
