People don’t want wisdom. They want answers and that’s what we have priests and politicians for.

What is wisdom anyway? Is it knowledge, or is it something more? Say the ability to sift through knowledge and understand how it all fits together and what larger patterns might be hidden within the knowledge we are given. ?

Yet how is that taught, or is it a talent? If it is a talent, how does it develop and what are its precursors? Would a child with the potential to be wise be interested in all that it sees and perceives, in order absorb as much knowledge as possible, constantly seeking different perspectives and new experiences?

Naa. Those kids just have attention deficit disorder and they get Ridalin to cure it.
