Decartes by proclaiming “I think therefore I am” launched a race for having more speculative knowledge that boosted our technological progress in science but either regress in “I-am” determination, for, in contrast it, as Ecclesiastes said that “in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow”. Socrates told next that “he knows nothing”. Two latest statements highlight a quirky idea of true criterion of wisdom as an awareness of vanity of any personal wisdom. It might explicate roughly that the “true wizard” ( i.e. person who HAD already accumulated a great amount of speculative knowledge + profound life experience on which it had been tried – in order to use it to be a weapon or armour-like to any everyday life challenge) is, actually, a fool ( i.e. man who has neither knowledge nor life experince = by ipso facto highliting a value of current at-fly knowledge as a basic in the scale of priorities, i.e. a value of process of learning, than result of learning.


So what an amazingly symbolic scene below, when a maitre of academic excellency suddenly's revealing his alter-ego: turns into a half-drunk quasi-pantheistic free-thinker by speaking that in situation like one - dream in night time, - we driven by none of our scientific luggage, but our sunconscious as being primarily “homo” then next “sapiens”, not vice versa:
“Science? Nonsense! In this situation mediocrity and genius are equally useless! I must tell you that we really have no desire to conquer any cosmos. We want to extend the Earth up to its borders. We don't know what to do with other worlds. We don't need other worlds. We need a mirror. We struggle to make contact, but we'll never achieve it. We are in a ridiculous predicament of man pursuing a goal that he fears and that he really does not need. Man needs man!” © Dr.Snaut
