OK, well, you're entitled to your views, of course. For me though, they come across as tendentious; I agree with @Noble Dust that your account of intuition is a superficial 'simpletonistic' caricature. Happy trails!

Wisdom is basically knowledge. — TheMadFool

That seems a very unwise position.

I read somewhere that wisdom = good knowledge. ''Good'' is an adjective'' but ''knowledge'' is a noun. Said otherwise we first have to find knowledge and then determine if it's good or not.

I see what you're trying to express. But I think it is totally misguided.

Try replacing 'knowledge' with 'understanding', and 'good' with 'true'.

I used to think I was wise; I was the sunday-school devotee; the youth pastor took to me the most because I was passive and hungry to learn. I seemed to have a certain existential knack at an early age. A lot has happened since then. Now I don't know what wisdom is.

I'm just relaying this little personal story so Michael doesn't delete the thread for "low post quality". In reality, all I want to ask is: "What is wisdom?" — Noble Dust

Never understood this sub basic questions that are easily read in a dictionary. If there's a complex aspect that one doesn't understand and wants to discuss it, then sure it's a good thing to post, but not this.

If it was a big serious business, one would probably be fired not being able to perform a normal mail correspondence.

Well, I think change is the only unchanging truth. If there's wisdom worth holding onto then that's it.

Doesn't that mean wisdom needs to update itself with time?
