If you're going to try and become wise and educated, which I regard as the ultimate human achievement, it's clear that you’re not going to do it by finishing your formal education.

In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn't read all the time—none, zero.

It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.
