Summary
This quote advises against engaging in intellectual debates or arguments with individuals who lack the necessary knowledge or understanding to contribute meaningfully to the discussion. It suggests that such engagements would be pointless as one cannot expect to have an intellectually stimulating exchange with someone who is unprepared or ill-equipped to participate at the same level. Instead, it implies the importance of seeking meaningful intellectual exchanges with others who possess the necessary knowledge and skills to engage in a battle of wits.
