    Ego controls humanity.  Ego prevents wisdom and promotes stupidity.

    And yet a healthy ego is the basis for both wisdom and humility.

    But an unhealthy ego can certainly result in what you suggest.

    Where ego rules, wisdom cannot grow.

    Simply put, that is not true.

    "The future of mankind is determined by the poverty of the human mind and the fertility of the human body."

    Wish I could---I read it about 20+ years ago.  It was from some famous columnist at the time, if I recall correctly.

    Unfortunately, pasting the phrase into Google got me no results a few years ago---nor when I tried this time either.

    I will say emotions control humanity.

  • Stupidity.  It must be stupidity, because if it was wisdom we would see more love.
