Ironically, it is from organic, bottom-up understanding how one comes to conclude these simple appearances are deceitfully complex when considered as a whole.

Mistaking the complex for the simple is an error many simpletons (said in a non-pejorative sense) make.

No. Because philosophy never actually comprehended what wisdom is in the first place.
