Life has taught me that the more I know, the more I realise I don't know.
I recently read a research paper that showed (I summarise wildly because I can't find the original paper) that stupid people self report that they know (for example) 3/4 of everything that there is to know, but that educated people report that they know (for example) 1/10 of everything.
This leads to clever folks thinking they're dumb and dumb folks thinking they're clever.
Essentially, some people are too dumb to realise that they're dumb.
