Comment on Can you be too incompetent to understand just how incompetent you are?

Comments

In the Bible, Proverbs incessantly mocks those who lack wisdom, who are simply called fools. Like an illustration that fools instinctively repeat their mistakes like a dog comes back to lick up his own vomit. Nice.

Then comes this thought: "Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him."

In some of the cases, the word translated 'fool' is the Hebrew word nabal which should better be translated as 'perverse.' Thus the verses which says, "The fool hath said in his heart there is no God, They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." (Psalm 14:1; Psalm 53:1)
