Why strong minds always fail

 

"Never mind the metaphysics, let it be known to all
that I will give you plenty of Easter eggs!"

"Strong minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; weak minds discuss people." 

Attributed to both Socrates and Eleanor Roosevelt, the quote could be a paraphrase of a statement made by 19th century British historian Henry Thomas Buckle. Or at least attributed to him by one Charles Stewart (not clear who he was). 

But sure, the statement seems to be true...and explains why "strong minds" never get anywhere, since the broad masses don´t care about "ideas", but rather about events and people. They also seem to care about food, drink, farm subsidies, that kind of stuff. I mean, who knew?

The intellectuals are airheads. And nothing is new under the sun...
