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.

Wise people needn't be full of doubt. The Abrahamic traditions do these days lead to an abundance of doubt, but you can find wisdom without doubt.

I draw wisdom from Shakti and the Rishis. I'll admit they are a bit abstruse for most Westerners. Consequently, I recommend a dose of Confucius (Great Learning) and Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching). They are more easily absorbed. That should be enough to get you through.

One man's fool is another man's president.
