In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that he did not also limit his stupidity.

In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man

Summary

This quote suggests that while God may have placed limits on humanity's intelligence, it seems unjust that He has not done the same for our capacity for stupidity. In other words, it questions why human beings possess the potential to make foolish decisions or act thoughtlessly despite being given limited intellect. It highlights the contrast between our potential for brilliance and our inclination for making unintelligent choices, making a case for the perceived imbalance between our mental faculties.
