Wise men have to act or their 'wisdom' is for naught.

I mean, there's a lot of other problems as well. AIDS and cancer come to mind. I'll suffer the fools if we can ditch those two diseases

For me world hunger, fresh water supplies, aggression between nations (Nationality itself being a problem), bee populations plummeting, our foolish dependence on fossil fuels, our vulnerability to CMEs, and the increasing difficulty in finding non-chemically or biotechnologically altered food come to mind as problems with the world before AIDs. Cancer's just what you get when you try to live for more than half a century under the conditions of constant radiation such as we do. Most Earth-bound lifeforms can't pull that off.

But that's the reason why they are wise. If you removed their doubt, they would just be better educated fools.

Of course the wise is full of doubt. Just because something works one day doesn't mean it'll work the next.

The influence of fools and fanatics in this world is limited relative to governments and corporations.

Interesting. Worked with a bunch of contractors while building this place. Found that the lower the education level, the higher the self confidence....and mistakes. I don't know how they they were endowed with so much self confidence when they made so many mistakes.
