In working with the warehouse manager, who turned out to be quite a nice guy (he just seemed frustrated before because in truth is he has a huge number of very lazy and seemingly willfully stupid jerks working for him), I got to hear an interesting little lecture (sorry, I'm not really up to trans-scripting a thick Vietnamese accent): he said it was his opinion that many people who spurn education or are willfully ignorant think they know everything; people who really enjoy being educated and learning, on the other hand, realize that they are only a little speck in terms of how much knowledge and even common-sense wisdom there is in the world. So, maybe not a lecture, but it seems like a lecture's worth of information could be contained within that bit of opinion.
