Quote by Aldous Huxley
Man is so intelligent that he feels impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic.
Summary
This quote captures the inherent limit of human intelligence when it comes to understanding the world. While humans possess great intellectual capacity, they are often driven to create theories and explanations for various phenomena. However, their intelligence often falls short in providing accurate explanations. Consequently, when individuals base their actions on flawed theories, they frequently exhibit irrational behavior similar to that of a lunatic. This quote highlights the discrepancy between human desire for explanation and the human ability to accurately comprehend the complexities of the world.
