Summary

This quote implies that acts of rebellion driven by ignorance or lack of knowledge are not as harmful as uprisings led by intelligent individuals. It suggests that when those who possess wisdom, knowledge, and critical thinking skills revolt against established norms or systems, the consequences can be more profound and potentially disruptive. It raises the idea that intellectual revolutions have the power to challenge and change the status quo in ways that may have a lasting impact on society.
