    Well, this is true. And that goes back to Galileo. He was right, but only from a gut feeling, without having any actual proof yet, and was a dick about it, and THAT's why he got his dick slapped. Not for his ideas as such, but for proclaiming them to be true without being able to back it up.
    Yeah, a lot of people missed that detail. IIRC the church went way out of their normal pattern to basically elbow him and say that they knew he wasn't wrong, but maybe just introduce it a little slower and don't be a jerk about it and it will all work out.

    Not even close. I just tend to not like people that think they are smarter than anyone else because of their education or vocation. I have 1 degree. And enough credits for 21/2 more from the same college. And the most important thing I learned was how little I still knew. Too many educated people think they are smart. They are not. He is not.
    Most times I try not to get "wordy", but, hey, I'm human. I at least try not to be condescending when I do. Or tell others how or what they should be. I can be a jerk at times, but, unlike him, I at least try to be a nice jerk sometimes.
    I don't have anyone on ignore. He makes me feel better about my own stupidity sometimes. But if you want to ignore me, feel free. Anyone that wants to, go ahead. I have been ignore by many others in 63 years. Why stop now.

    Yep. Some people "know" a few things and spend all their time telling everyone they think is listening. These people think they're important, but are not.

    There's others who don't care at all about how much they know, likely never even consider it, and they spend their time not only increasing their knowledge but applying it. These people think they're not important, but are.
