“Though you pay for the hands they're shaking
The speeches and the mistakes they're making
As they struggle with the undertaking
Of simple thought What you want, you don't know
You're with stupid now
What you know, you don't want to know
You're with stupid now.”

—  Aimee Mann

Charlie Munger (1924) American business magnate, lawyer, investor, and philanthropist
