Self-Worth and the Idiot

There's nothing worse than a confident idiot.

Ben, Official Friend of the Brink

This thought, along with corollaries like the Bible's "Even a fool is considered wise when he opens not his mouth", make a brilliant case that modern society (and especially our public education system) should focus less on convincing people of their self-worth and more on education so that some of that self-confidence might be justified.
