“There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them”
— George Orwell
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, really smart people can think of or support ideas that don't make sense to most others. This can happen because they might overcomplicate simple issues or trust their intelligence too much. For example, a genius scientist might create a very complex theory about something simple, missing the obvious truth that other people can see more clearly. It's like if a top chef tried to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich fancy with rare ingredients, but it ends up tasting worse than a regular one. People can apply this idea to their life by remembering that being too clever can sometimes lead you away from the simple and clear truth. It's a good reminder that simple solutions are often the best, and you don't always need to be overly smart to understand what’s right.
