    Its worse. He ‘thinks’ he knows everything. Reality is otherwise.

    Not “inference” (deduction), but “implication” (suggestion). The premise in the first panel implies (suggests) that “more sleep equals more brain power,” but it’s a leap to argue that the character in the second panel has drawn that conclusion.

    All I know is that I am way smarter asleep than awake. And my family tells me I make more sense asleep, also.

    To pull up an old chestnut: Thanks to science we are learning more and more about less and less, pretty soon we will know everything about nothing.

    That’s actually early economics, before reality came along and introduced the concept of “diminishing returns”. Unfortunately, there are still people today who think that Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations (1776) was the final word on the subject. Pretty much every Nobel Prize that’s been handed out for economics in the 21st Century was for work showing how one or another aspect of Smith’s thesis was grossly oversimplified and/or based on unrealisstic assumptions.

    On RichardSR’s comment. I find it interesting that we try to understand economics to the last detail when a good deal of what powers it is human greed and lust for control, emotions and human characteristics that must be hard to model or reduce to simple equations.

    “When I was a boy, world was better spot

    What was so was so, what was not was not

    Now, I am a man, world have changed a lot

    Some things nearly so, others nearly not

    There are times I almost think

    I am not sure of what I absolutely know

    Very often find confusion

    In conclusion, I concluded long ago"

    The more you know, the more you realize there is to learn. So perceptually, the people who know more are those who recognize how very much they never can know.

    BTW, there are studies which indicate that a regular lack of sufficient time asleep increases the build up of plaques associated with dementia. There are multiple studies indicating that sleep has a wonderful function of being when physical debris is cleaned from the brain.
