Stupidity

In that book there is a little essay called The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity, which may be the best ever written on the subject.

'Then,' said the little boy who asks questions, 'why do people listen to him if his answers make no sense?'
'Because,' said Grandfather Tortoise, 'people prefer an answer they can understand, even if it makes no sense, to one they cannot understand but which is the truth.'

I am not saying anything meaningful here. I just found both of the above amusing...
