The trouble with people is not that they dont know but that

Summary

This quote suggests that the main issue with people is not their lack of knowledge, but rather the fact that they "know" things that are not true. It highlights the problem of individuals confidently holding on to false beliefs or information, which can hinder their understanding and decision-making. It implies that misinformation or misconceptions can be more problematic than ignorance itself, as they prevent people from seeking and accepting correct knowledge. The quote encourages critical thinking and a willingness to challenge and verify one's own beliefs and assumptions.
