"Knowledge draws fear and also corrupt intelligence. Instinct is a better complement for knowledge."

What about this statement - Completely flawed? Holds true with exception(what kind of exception, if any)

@Karan Not sure... Can you give examples of how knowledge draws fear and corrupts intelligence, and how instinct complements knowledge?

Reply to Karan As it stands, your post is incoherent.

If we drop Bitter Crank into the Democratic Republic of Congo his fear will guide his reason in a spectacular way.

The question is what does he know about the place he has found himself in and will that help him get to where he wants to go.

Knowledge and instinct are complimentary if and when they work together well.
