There is No substitute
for intelligence.

 

If you wanna talk about what might be “real” philosophy chew on this:
Ideas without irony.

 

A City man, evidently desperate to be a source of some good advice,
informed his nephew thusly, “Never allow a cricket team from the Lesser
Antilles to refer to you as that portly gentleman over there.”

 

In another one of those City philosophy books I read,
and I quote the following,
“Even the gods can’t change the past,”
and to that I add even if they could –
what difference would it make?

Even if they smile and INSIST, “Ah, come on, tell us what you think…”
don’t.

I’m sorry, I truly am, but there is no substitute for intelligence
NONE.
Sorry.
