"Too much knowledge is dangerous"? Are you sure you got this one the right way round. Maybe you should read Pope ... Alexander that is. And I'm afraid I don't quite see the equation in your logic. Of course, you could be thinking of Shakespeare .... I'll wing this one 'cause I don't want to go searching for my copy of JC: "Let me have men about me that are fat,/Sleek headed men, such as sleep at night/Yon Cassius (or Ali) has a lean and hungry look,/He thinks too much./Such men are dangerous." But in this sense the thinking man, the one with the knowledge, is dangerous to those who wish, altho' denying it, for power. Not the power that comes from knowledge, but political power. In other words, to say that knowledge is dangerous, is, in most cases, to utter horse manure.

Have a nice day

Well that's enough pedantry for one night.
