Been thinking a lot about knowledge, truth, etc. and came across this:
Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in fruit salad.
I've been talking about universities as hubs for "knowledge generation" but now I might talk more about "wisdom generation"
@Tdorey I like this idea. I wonder what make wisdom vs knowledge? Is the latter just information, whereas the former is knowing how to use it well? As one example, maybe, of the difference. Knowing context, what is appropriate when.
This sounds to me lik Aristotle on ethics, whose view of practical wisdom was knowing what was right to do in a particular situation. No one-rule-fits-all.
@clhendricksbc Listening to CBC and there's a philosopher who just said, "By training I don't have much knowledge, but am really good at figuring out questions.
Maybe wisdom is about learning how to ask smart questions & avoid being distracted by meaningless information?
