Illusion of knowledge, greed and stupidity are dangers

Re: Climate change ad nauseam The late Stephen Hawking left us with two relevant thoughts: 1. "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is an illusion of knowledge." 2. "We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity.

Re: Climate change ad nauseam

The late Stephen Hawking left us with two relevant thoughts:

1. "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is an illusion of knowledge."
2. "We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot
remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and
overcrowded planet."

The greedy and stupid, with their illusory knowledge, will shout that "everything is
just fine", i.e., "Famous last words."
