Frank Lloyd Wright on Intellectuals

Mike Wallace Interview 9/1/1957

"An expert is a man who has stopped thinking - he knows!" -FLW

"Why are all you women here now in this audience? Do you feel any individual responsibility toward the cultural side of life that your children are going to live hereafter? Now, when you got your foot on the bar rail and a cigarette hanging from your lip, you felt that was progress, I dare say! Well, it worked just the other way. You haven't progressed; you are now a liability rather than an asset. The question arises: What in the name of heaven are we going to do with you?" -FLW

@wangobangodango When did he cheer ignorance? If you mean in this interview, he is talking about people that THINK they are smarter than others, and often present themselves as smarter, without necessarily doing the work to prove it. Not posing as an expert doesn't mean you are ignorant, it just means you are honest! A lot of people that sound smart don't have better ideas than anyone else. Even THEY don't realize it, believing their own B.S., not seeing their mistakes...
