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

Not really sure about this one…
surmising with aplomb and nary remorse
Bertrand Russell! I first read “A History of Western Philosophy” many years ago and have read it once again since. I may not read the whole book again but I dip into it now and again. It’s a great book to have for reference, and was a big influence on my life. I’m happy to see him mentioned here, so thanks!
Wow. I’m impressed, truly. Just thinking about philosophy…puts…me…to…Zzzzzz
I am pretty sure he was right! 😆
