    To say one knows nothing is done with the same megalomaniac attitude as saying one knows everything. Sometimes it feels like the eye is too small, sometimes that it's far too big, but clinging to just one of those feelings uncovers a feeling superiority. To the minimal or to the maximal.
    To say you know you know nothing is said by people who secretly want to know everything but can't even know one thing except that they know that.

    Don't overlook the happy modern day power sharing couple. State and science, who were born in ancient Greek and grew up happily together as brother and sisterr. Their later fairy tale marriage thus basically is one based on incest.

    Talk is cheapAgent Smith

    It depends who talks. Speaking fee:

    "Motivational speakers, businesspersons, facilitators, and celebrities are able to garner significant earnings in speaking fees or honoraria. In 2013, $10,000 was considered a lower limit for speakers brokered by speakers bureaus, $40,000 a regular fee for well-known authors, and famous politicians were reported to charge about $100,000 and more."

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't! Twisted! I thought I was the only cynic around here.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't!Agent Smith

    Being not damned only if you do and don't at the same time:

    I'll be damned if I think I know nothing or everything and know or don't know that! Salvation lies in knowing or not that you don't know everything nor nothing. It's the only way out.
