Martin Page. How I became an idiot (№ 180937)

There is a Chinese saying, the essence of which boils down roughly to what the fish may not know when she writes. This is quite applicable to the intellectuals who consider themselves smart because they are engaged in mental work. Mason with his hands, but he also has a mind that tells him, "Hey, the wall came the curve, and besides, you put a little cement." There is a constant interaction between the head and hands. Intellectual works only with head, which is nothing does not react, the hands do not tell him: 'Hey, man, pull yourself together! The earth is round!' The intellectual is not happening this internal dialogue, so he imagines that is able to judge everything in the light. He's like a pianist who, on the basis of that masterly hands, decided if it can with equal success to be a boxer, and a neurosurgeon, and artist and card shark.
