Of course not; that's why I re-purposed your terms to make my point, which you didn't get. Appeal to authority much?

Like you said (more or less), intuition is arriving at truth without reason. Intuition means instinctively knowing the truth. Why is this good or wise...

Are these the sorts of things you say to your glowing underlings in real life?

I grew up on Star Wars. The Last Jedi was pretty bad. But I also enjoyed it, because I was excited for any new Star Wars films. I would rank the new o...
May 11, 2018 at 07:46
Haha interesting, never noticed, but I think I see what you mean.

That record is way more electronic; you may or may not be into Lanterns, but it's an amalgamation of all his different influences, particularly his cl...
May 10, 2018 at 03:26
Lanterns is peak Son Lux. Before that, he wasn't a fully developed artist, and after that, he turned it into a trio instead of a solo project, and the...

There aren't right wing artists, for instance (the group I know the best) who fit into the narrative you're describing. But there are artists who bela...

Treasonous. Avgolemono soup to antipasto, maybe.
May 10, 2018 at 02:41
I like that definition, although I can tell it’s slanted towards your feelings about intuition. As to what’s good or wise about intuition... what’s pa...

It's not upsetting, it's just wrong. Wisdom isn't habit. Habit isn't wisdom. Is it wise to live by habit? Is it unwise to be clever? Your terms are cl...

The annoying thing to me is that, of course, Wakanda is actually just as colonial as any other modern civilization. That's what you get when the colon...
May 09, 2018 at 17:22
Shouldn't you have rather quoted yourself from back here? :rofl: I agree, but as I said, it's important to realize that it's unavoidable. It's tameabl...

There's certainly wisdom to be gained form Ecclesiastes, as well as Job. It's funny, I used to secretly love Ecclesiastes when I was still in the chur...
May 09, 2018 at 05:54
Maybe the fact that you'd rather be editing photos than talking about wisdom is indicative of what wisdom is.
May 09, 2018 at 05:51
I'm just bored by the concept of cognitive bias because everyone has it. So it's important to get to the point where we recognize that we have it, but...
May 09, 2018 at 05:50
I'd say there's some wisdom to be found there. Which I like; I like "defining" things analogically; rather than saying "wisdom is applied knowledge" o...
May 09, 2018 at 05:46
Not bad, I like that. It seems a very logical definition of wisdom, so my intuitive sense of wisdom isn't satisfied, but there's certainly some wisdom...
May 09, 2018 at 05:42
Yeah I know; like I said, I can't imagine what's unwise about asking you questions about the propositions you espoused which you claim are wisdom. If ...
May 09, 2018 at 05:40
I say "I don't take a definition of wisdom created by psychologists via research very seriously."
May 09, 2018 at 05:36
Hell, while I'm at it, @"Baden"... I see you there. What do you think wisdom is?
May 08, 2018 at 06:20
@"?????????????" What about you, what do you think wisdom is?
May 08, 2018 at 06:18
So cognitive bias must ultimately lead to something true, right? If it's such an intense issue, then it surely avails itself of something which is rea...
May 08, 2018 at 06:01
To my arguments. Don't keep wasting my time. :rofl:
May 08, 2018 at 05:22
Come back with counter-arguments, and I'll take you seriously.
May 08, 2018 at 05:19
Read again.
May 08, 2018 at 05:10
You're worshipping evolution as a god. I've seen this attitude in the fundamentalist church; what exposes it is that the form supersedes the function;...

I'm trying really hard to imagine a world in which everyone isolated themselves from others as much as possible.
May 08, 2018 at 04:57
Yup! Nerve officially struck. Maybe you'll learn wisdom from this thread; who knows? I'm certainly hoping I do. I did; read again.
May 08, 2018 at 04:53
Why live cleverly and well-adaptedly, when you die after about 70 years? This is a question that pertains to the problem of wisdom.
May 08, 2018 at 04:51
No; I have no template. I'm actually trying to figure out what wisdom is. Novel, I know. And I could say the same to you: "So you took what I said and...
May 08, 2018 at 04:45
God, reading this thread makes me so fucking angry.
May 08, 2018 at 04:37
What? Why would that be the case? Once you have the answer, you just have knowledge you "know". Why are you associating that state with wisdom?
May 08, 2018 at 04:35
So it doesn't supersede death, right?
May 08, 2018 at 04:27
I'm gleaning that per your outlook, there's no perennial anything; there's always flux, and "cleverness" (I don't like that term) is the thing that......
May 08, 2018 at 04:26
That doesn't seem very wise. I don't know what bullshit is; you'd have to elaborate. Self-hatred is corrosive, but it doesn't mean wisdom can't be gle...
May 08, 2018 at 04:20
I've had a few beatings, yes. Your bizarre analogies are strangely encouraging. I nominate your post as the closest thing to wisdom I've seen so far.
May 08, 2018 at 04:16
What about a wise man?
May 08, 2018 at 04:14
I'm young and hairless, so let me try. Cancer destroying what? Idealism opposing what? To what end? I'm so profound.
May 07, 2018 at 09:47
You're true colors come out! You're no-one, and yet, you're oh so crucial to the existence of this forum. Per the debate at hand about wisdom, fuck of...
May 07, 2018 at 09:40
Edit: Of course I have to get you involved; you love the attention! I gave you low hanging fruit, and you swung for the nuts. I still know I fucked up...
May 07, 2018 at 09:31
I think I agree. But what I'm not sure about is changing definitions. When words change meaning...what? What is happening?
May 07, 2018 at 09:15
I get it, I get it, it's impossible to offend you. You're an incredible castle all your own. You're clearly a relic from "the old PF days". I lay my d...

It's always a party when I start a thread brah.
May 07, 2018 at 09:03
This whole thread exists to stir the non-existent wisdom pot. :rofl: Let me help. What say you, @"Sapientia"? What's your thought on how language func...
May 07, 2018 at 09:02
I'm not sure if I've detected any wisdom yet (and what would I know?) But I like jokes; especially jokes that don't demean other people. I like jokes ...
