The Essays: Twenty-Fourth Post (Arrogance)
One thing that drives me crazy about Bacon is his absolute lack of any regard for the common people. In his eyes they were dirty, stupid and rude by nature. They could only appreciate the lowest of humor and would never be able to follow even the simplest logic. He counts them among a kingdom’s assets the way some people might count pigs as such. It’s arrogant and short sighted and stupid of him. It drives me crazy!
