    Some people also believe that world is a flat disk that rests on the back of four giant elephants which stand on the shell of a giant turtle. ;-)

    “Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise/intelligent”, wrote Heraclitus ~2500 years ago. Even then people knew that distinction. Even then ignorant people thought themselves wise or intelligent because they had education, because why otherwise would the philosophers mention that :)
