Translation

by Stephen Mitchelmore on March 20, 2004

Bertrand Russell: ‘A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.’ (from The Leiter Reports).

What he means is: “I’m an upper class snob nurr nurr nurr nurr, go home and read Danielle Steele you dim-witted working class non-entity nurr nurr nurr nurr.”
