"Most people have opinions about just everything there is, but the value of those opinions is directly proportional to whatever experience and knowledge they have of the subject in question. If we are talking about brain surgery you don’t want to do anything based on my opinions, because clearly I’m not a surgeon."---

No, you're weren't a brain surgeon, but you've helped so many brains in ways brain surgeons can't. Thank you for everything. Requiescat in pace.

That's basically what Socrates said: Not everyone's opinion is valid if the opinion is not backed up with rational, informed thought.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has an opinion, but have those opinions been thought through?
Too often we are told to respect all opinions. Too often, few of those opinions are supported with any thought.
If only More Movie Stars and Song Writers listened to the Great Colonel when they decided their ideas of world politics was somehow relevant...
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people listen to that old man.
