ALT Title: Bertrand Russell, 1933 Panel 1 Bertrand sits at his desk, puffing on his pipe. He says 'The problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are so full of doubts.' Panel 2 He gets up and walks over to a mirror. Panel 3 Pondering his reflection, he muses 'But if I'm certain about this...' Panel 4 'Does that make ME a fool or fanatic?' Panel 5 He walks back to his desk. His reflection in the mirror says 'Talking to yourself in a mirror seems pretty doubtful to me.' 'Good point.' says Bertrand.
