Wisest Man In The World?

[wallie_x]

"At an early date in the young philosophers life, the oracle of Apollo at Delphi had declared that no man was wiser than Socrates. Seeking, as he later put it with characteristic irony, to disprove the oracle, Socrates assiduously examined the beliefs and thinking of all who considered themselves wise – concluding that he was indeed wiser than all others, for he alone recognized his own ignorance."

Richard Tarnas

A wise man indeed.


(Quote from the book: The Passion of the Western Mind: understanding the ideas that have shaped our worldview.)

[John Prophet]

There were 4 men flying on a plane

The oldest man in the world
The smartest man in the world
The President
a young army private

The plane developed trouble...it was going down..the pilot bailed out, lol.

The 4 men looked and found out they had 3 parachutes.

The President spoke first..."Im the President, the country needs me" He took a chute and jumped.

The smartest man in the world said "I am the smartest man in the world, the world needs my contributions, I must be saved"...he grabbed a chute and jumped.

2 men left..one parachute.

The old man spoke first.

He said "son, Ive lived a full life and I am ready to die. You have your whole life ahead of you..you take the last parachute and Ill stay behind"

The young army private said "nah, we have two chutes left....the smartest man in the world grabbed my backpack full of dirty laundry"
