Would you rather be a happy idiot or a miserable know-it-all?

  Perhaps the know-it-all is miserable because they’re acutely aware that they’re outnumbered by happy idiots?

  > It is better to weep with wise men than to laugh with fools. -- Spanish Proverb I agree, especially since the fools are the major source of things to weep about.

  A happy idiot I guess. Since the miserable know-it-all is actually also an idiot, they just don't know it. So they're just a miserable idiot.

  Can you really know-it-all? I mean really, whole Universe with its infinity in all depth and dimension? No, this is what makes you miserable not the knowledge itself - but taking on an impossible quest and knowing it but pretending you don't know.
