Full Idea
The people have, justifiably, the falsest concept of the circumstances from which they are most distant - of wisdom.
Gist of Idea
The people are too remote from wisdom to understand it
Source
Friedrich Nietzsche (Fragments from 1886-87 (v 17) [1887], 5[030])
A Reaction
Presumably the people are too trapped in ossified conventions of thought. I'm not sure how Nietzsche understood wisdom.
