“The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.” ― Bertrand Russell ![[Linked Image]](https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1457021442p5/17854.jpg) Clearly if he had lived in England he would have been a Morgan owner.

He generated some very quotable quotes.
The trouble with that one in real life is that whether someone is derided as stupid or lauded as intelligent is almost always a value judgement based on the similarity of their viewpoint with our own... Can't remember the last time I heard someone applauding the faultless logic and undoubted truth of an opinion that fundamentally contradicted their own.
You could just about throw a 9/16 spanner into Wales from the factory so I'm sure they're allowed to drive Morgans!! :-)

If I may, I'd distill BRs words to:
"The fundamental cause of the trouble in the modern world is that there are people".

BR was a forthright atheast and one of his best expressions anti theistic retorech was the line that went something like 'the scriptures say that God created man in his own image but it was actually the other way around.'

It's that pesky Dunning-Kruger effect. Bertrand Russell knew more than anyone the dangers of the idiocracy that we are now living through.
