"“What makes people stupid,” Greene explains, “is their certainty that they have all the answers.”" - reads like a "boomerang" imho...
For a supposedly successful writer and self-proclaimed student of Zen Buddhism, calling people "stupid" reeks of a lack of #EQ and #empathy, imho, it's not a demonstration of insightful #intelligence at all.
Just my own, perhaps "stupid", two cents.🧐
It also reminds me of this timely caricature!

1. Political cartoon titled "How Tariffs Work:" with a caricature of POTUS tRump in a suit with red tie, urinating pale yellow piss towards a blowing fan that's labeled Canadian and his piss is being blown back into his face, while his "sculptured" hair remained seemingly unfrazzled. Signature of the artist on the bottom right but undecipherable to me (sorry!).
