The ultimate result of shielding man from the effects of folly is to people the world with fools.
-Herbert Spencer
Bonus trivia: Spencer coined the term “survival of the fittest”, easily the most misunderstood and notorious phrase in modern history. He was also the philosopher to enthusiastically push the idea that the concepts of evolution and the first law of thermodynamics (the Conservation of Energy) meant that humanity would push inevitably on to perfection. The doctrine would be blasted apart in the trenches of World War I.
