    “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, “The Triumph of Stupidity” (1933-05-10) in Mortals and Others: Bertrand Russell’s American Essays, 1931-1935 (Routledge, 1998, ISBN 0-415-17866-5), p. 28.
