Great minds think alike

David Tufte quotes C. K. Chesterton:

The problem isn't educating the uneducated but rather uneducating the educated.

Which reminded me of a fine observation by Will Rogers:

“It ain’t what you don’t know that hurts you. It’s what you know that ain’t so.”

Along these lines I have always thought there is a lot of truth to Orwell's observation that "Some ideas are so preposterous only an intellectual could believe them".
