Proverbs 26:12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
That is exactly correct
And it also was one of the errors that Jack van Impe made, not knowing his mistake
I watched him make that mistake time after time - and others

“Even Henry Ford worked briefly with NAZI Germany”
You are of course correct. Charles Lindburgh among other perfectly decent, respectable people were in awe of early NAZI successes economically and socially. My mother in law...may she rest in piece..spent a couple of months there in 1936 and was thoroughly impressed. Who the hell knew what was yet to come? Indeed, there are serious storm clouds approaching us right now.
Listening to his speeches, I am still amazed how Oswald Mosley got sucked into it.
Meaning that it has 1) magnitude, and 2) direction.

Don’t confuse education with intelligence.
Because there’s a world of difference between intelligence and wisdom and common sense.
What’s that saying???
People with PhD’s know more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.
When you butter up a really smart person they feel ‘finally, someone sees I’m a genius’...
Sad bit true.
Here’s how you can tell how smart you are: With people dumber than you, you can rank them in order. With people smarter than you, you just know they’re smarter. But you can’t rank them.
This is absolutely unremarkable, because eugenics were the order of the day in that era of medical education -- a brief, fleeting dalliance with extermination and genocide that benefited no one.
Now we have elites who have never let go of the concept -- pimping depopulation is perhaps the identifying hallmark of a true global elitist, remember that when the time comes -- and they plainly showed their hand by deploying a PLA-designed bioweapon as a primary Act of War, knowing they would get away with it because it was not nation vs nation but a tiny minority, with the aid of a godless confucian hivemind, against every man and woman alive, seeking to exterminate the fullest extent possible.
That sounds like low paid waitresses who go out for dinner/drinks and pay 25-30% tips!
Yeah, it is kind of the same thing.
Yeah, it is kind of the same thing.
Thomas Sowell writes that before he was scheduled to debate Kenneth Arrow (Nobel prize-winning economist), someone asked him if he was nervous because Arrow was so smart. Sowell replied “I don’t mind debating smart people. It’s debating stupid people that’s hard.”

My college roommate said his dad was a dowser. Nevermind that Nebraska sits on top of on of the largest fresh water aquifers in the world. I remember thinking, show me a place where you can’t hit water.
