"Il y a des idées si fausses que seule une personne très intelligente pourrait y croire"
— George Orwell
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, really smart people can believe in ideas that seem obviously false to everyone else. This happens because they might overthink things and ignore simple truths. For example, a brilliant scientist might come up with an extremely complex and strange theory about how the world works, while everyday people know it’s just not right based on common sense. They might believe something so out there because they’re looking for new and unusual answers, rather than sticking to what’s plain and simple. It’s like trying to solve an easy puzzle but making it way more complicated than it needs to be. In life, it’s important to remember that just because an idea is presented by someone intelligent, it doesn’t mean it’s always correct. Keeping things simple and trusting basic truths can often be more reliable.
