@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?

@Tdorey @clhendricksbc I've always been a big fan of practical wisdom. Understanding how to figure things out is so much more valuable (in my view) than knowing a lot of things.

To me, knowledge is (can be) static, while wisdom is flexible and ever-exapnding.

@clhendricksbc @fgraver
Understanding which questions are important... best reason I've ever heard to study philosophy :)

I know lots of folks are talking about being in a "post-truth" era, but I'm thinking more we're it's more of a "fact-saturated" era in which folks choose what to believe and then are able to go "fact-shopping" and pick what fits.

Maybe we need to focus more on *why* fact-shopping is dangerous (and the alternatives)?
