Humour notwithstanding, the term the more I know, the less I understand is what it says on the tin i.e. recognition that the more we seem to know, the more difficult it is to apply logic. Clearly, political correctness is the scourge of modern society. Generally, instead of standing up and fighting back, we run scared of retribution.
