The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Why can’t more scientists value wisdom over intelligence?

Scientists are stupid, rigid specialists, who are completely ignorant of everything outside of their specialized field of study. Scientists therefore have no concept whatsoever of wisdom, they think exclusively in terms of skills related specifically to their particular field of specialization. https://www.quora.com/Why-can-t-more-scientists-value-wisdom-over-intelligence
