This is one of my favorite Bertand Russell quotes: "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." Now if you listen to this clip, he often uses words like "seems", "doubt", "probably." Yet the interviewer attempts to presuppose what he thinks. I guess Mr. Russell was right about the world. We can only hope that someday it may change.
