Dawkins is building a humongous fire for himself. Looney stuff like this illustrates that book learnin’ and WISDOM are in no way interlocked with each other. IMHO.
Exactly. As Thomas Sowell wrote in his book on Intellectuals-—Real Life Experience is essential to understand most things. Great Books can enhance knowledge, but only with human interactions and with much debate of ideas and actually putting those ideas into action.
Pride and arrogance is what so many students are fed today, so they remain just simply morons. They “think” they know everything like God, when they have been fed so many lies and misunderstanding of “Life” in front of tubes or screens-—they “think” they are brilliant....LOL-—when farmers 100 years ago were so much more brilliant than they are-—and could actually survive on their own.
