Synopsis

What do you know and believe?

How much do you really know about it?

What if you are wrong?

Clever Enough to be Stupid explores various ways in which you may begin to believe you know what you are talking about and how that may not just be wrong, but even dangerously so.

From the flaws of human thinking and behaviour, to the dangers of social media and emotional rhetoric, Jym Brown proposes a practical philosophy based on humility.

Reviving an old sentiment in which true wisdom is not about how much you ‘know’, but rather the realisation that you don’t know much at all.
