Help, What is Your Opinion of This.?

Question

"An Intelligent Fool Can Make Things Bigger, More Complex, And More Violent. It Takes A Touch of Genius And A Lot of Courage To Move In The Opposite Direction."

Answer 1

I agree with the statement for the most part. I believe all matters of knowledge are very complex. A smart person can easily start from the current body of knowledge and expand upon it, making it more complex. In my opinion, a genius can start from the current body of knowledge and find simple rational explanations to questions everyone else thinks is mysterious and complex.

Answer 2

Bush has done just that in Iraq hasnt he?

The intelligent have the solutions. The fool seeks a platform for what he thinks he has. The intelligent fool seeks attention by making the world more confusing than it is.

The Genius with courage provides the solution and walks away content with the work done. The solution is the reward. He has no need for attention.

Answer 3

Yes it does take a touch of genius and courage to turn in the other direction, so therefore those that do are by no means fools, they are far wiser to have to courage to do it

Answer 4

I don't think it takes Genius to move in the opposite direction, only open-mindedness, awareness, support, and courage

and a fool who is intelligent is no longer a fool

Answer 5

This statment is a conflict. Basically, you don't describe a fool as intelligent.

Just like if I say a very dull sharp knife. It just doesn't make sense.

Answer 6

I'd imagine it refers to what's going on in Iraq and the new U.S. policy to increase the size of the troops there. It would take even more courage to pull out, don't you think?
