Yeats was a prophet---

4. ...the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.'

Charles Bukowski — 'The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.'

============================

Bertrand Russell once said that the problem in life is that stupid people are always more sure of themselves, but the brightest people are full of doubts. That would also explain why it’s not always the smartest or best-educated people who are successful.

A lot of the most important positions in our society are held by extremely incompetent people, the kinds of people who aren’t very good at anything except bossing other people around.

“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”
