Bertolt Brecht

didn't want to be wise 
- at least not in 1940.

But he was wise enough.

Mao-Zedong
was not wrong in writing
the commonplace observation
that a change in your condition
will likely bring some change in your thinking.

He had no humility.

He even claimed to know the thought-processes of frogs.

 The frog at the bottom of the well thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well.
 If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view."
-- 
Mao Zedong.

And millions were killed and starved because of his stupidity.
