Smart Vs. Wise ... and a Fatal Idea

Read this (via Pseudo-Polymath).  How many times have I told you that "smart" people can often do exceedingly stupid things when they become convinced that they're smarter (and thus wiser) than everyone else?  Know-it-alls are so annoying.  Intelligence does not equal wisdom, my darlings, though it takes a wise man or woman to know and tell the difference.  Geez, don't people know about Socrates anymore?  He basically said he was wise only because he was aware of his own ignorance.
