This quote sums up /his/ perfectly...
Lao Tsu — 'Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.'
>>1632514
True that
>>1632514
why don't those who know speak
>>1632528
No point, it gets drowned out by all the bullshit.
>>1632528
The inflexibility of those who speak makes it pointless.
>>1632530
if they're so smart why don't they figure out a way to get their point across, I for one would like to hear someone intelligent for once even if they are scolding me
>>1632528
because they are too busy either writing it down systematically or acting in accordance to what they know
>>1632539
Meh, I used to make well thought out posts about subjects I'm knowledgeable about, but they almost always get completely ignored or replied to with dismissive one-liners, so now I just funpost like everyone else.
>>1632528
This board is about Nazism rocks, Dictators are cool, trolling, why Women or Left have ruined my life ande the world.
No need for serious replies to anything
>>1632528
The only thing truly known is that not enough is known
>>1632514
Except that's retarded.
Plato - 'Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.'
>>1632514
>Lao Tsu — 'Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.'
So did Lao Tsu know?
>>1632655
Who's words have more worth, those who are considered wise or those who say little?
They can both have the same knowledge but people will hang on the words of the wise and disregard the quiet. The quiet lacks the preface of wisdom and so no ego befalls him.
>>1632667
Since word of mouth/script was the only way of measuring wisdom A man who does not share in his wisdom appear just as dull to the masses as someone who has none. It's all relative, bruv.
>>1632690
People who don't share their supposed 'wisdom' yet believe they are so wise without testing the waters of spreading their words can usually be self-righteous and smug.
There's a balance to strike, and I'm yet to meet anybody in that goldilocks zone.
>>1632514
How would that speaking know about knowing? He obviously doesn't know since he speaks.
>>1632731
I guess he thought it was okay considering he wrote it down then fucked off into the wilderness never to be seen again.
Didn't even preach once.
