1/31/26 – Quote of the Day: And While We’re On the Subject of Stupidity . . .

. . . which I was, in my earlier posting today.

So, of course, I immediately began a search for something incredibly wise to say on the subject, and found this by the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus. It explains, in one brief sentence, the inability of a certain current occupant of the Oval Office to accept, not only criticism, but any sort of sound advice:

“Stupidity is doomed, therefore, to cringe at every syllable of wisdom.”

-Heraclitus, “Fragments”

Bust of Heraclitus (6th – 5th Centuries B.C.)

That explains a hell of a lot, doesn’t it?

Just sayin’ . . .
