>Educated people usually exhibit such humility because they understand how limited their breadth and depth of knowledge is.

This does not match my experience at all.



I think it boils down to your definition of "educated". I wouldn't call somebody with say a bachelor's degree, or post grad degrees necessarily educated.

I have met plenty of "educated" people who live in total ignorance of their surroundings, and plenty of seemingly uneducated people who consume knowledge like the air they breathe.


Same here. Quite the opposite, really. The thread itself is a great example of this.
