What is wisdom?

[Jaded Sage]

Wisely is in accordance with a certain way of thinking. Wisdom is that certain way of thinking.

[Hobbes' Choice]

Wisely is in accordance with a certain way of thinking. Wisdom is that certain way of thinking.

Wisdom is not thinking, any more than nutrition is eating; or fertility is having sex.

[Jaded Sage]

That's a false analogy. Are we just going to duck season rabbit season this?

[Harbal]

Quality of judgment. Isn't that basically what wisdom is?

[Jaded Sage]

That's not bad, but I don't think it's quite accurate either. All I know is that it's a way of thinking.

[Hobbes' Choice]

That's a false analogy. Are we just going to duck season rabbit season this?

It's a grammatical analogy fool

[Hobbes' Choice]

Quality of judgment. Isn't that basically what wisdom is?

The wise are those that can. Wisdom is the ability to think because of experience and the intelligence to apply it.
Stupidity is not even knowing what wisdom is.

[Jaded Sage]

It's a false grammatical analogy. Duck season rabbit season it is!

Wisdom is a way of thinking.

[Harbal]

I think my definition is by far the best so far. I just sort of know it is.

[Jaded Sage]

That's how we all feel.

[Harbal]

That's how we all feel.

So, you agree with me then?

[Jaded Sage]

Lol, no. We all feel that our own definition is the the best definition and we all just kinda know it.

Wisdom might also be described as having a certain set of opinions.

[Harbal]

Lol, no. We all feel that our own definition is the the best definition and we all just kinda know it.

Really?

Wisdom might also be described as having a certain set of opinions

Yes, you're right, it might be, but certainly not by me.

[Jaded Sage]

Here is what is definitely not the case: that wisdom RESULTS in a certain way of thinking, or a certain set of opinions. That's a wide-spread misconception.

[hajrafradi]

I am afraid that to define wisdom, one first must meet the criteria of wisdom. (Careful. This is a very slippery argument.)
