Human stupidity

"The more comfortable we become with being stupid, the deeper we will wade into the unknown and the more likely we are to make big discoveries." --from "The importance of stupidity in scientific research" (Martin A. Schwartz).

Whatever we do, study or not, we must have an attitude of humility. Arrogant people do not learn anything. 

In fact, the reality of who we are is this: The more we know, the more we feel stupid because we are not capable of knowing everything we wish to know. We must acknowledge our stupidity.   

Laozi says: "Knowing not to know is the best" (Dao De Jing 71).
