Ep. 340 - Smart People without Wisdom Are Fools | Fireside Chat 

I think thats clearly demonstrated in dennis prager.

Whereas wisdom without knowledge has been compared to silver in a mine.

How did it get that way? You ignore the colonization by whites, oppression by white or the fact, the white minority owns/control 90% land and the economy!

Yes but stoicism can be very cold. Stoic doctors kill their patients with regularity now, starkly during covid.

Talk to any counselor and they will tell you that your feelings can betray you. Wisdom is an effective and appropriate use of knowledge. A person can be emotionally mature but lack the knowledge to make a wise decision.

@@dlsdyer9071 You lost me at your first four words, emotional maturity is emotional awareness and control. If you have that, you have clarity, this enables you to make the best decision.

@@jerrycote1661 Your confusing stifling your emotions with emotional awareness, and control. If you have this, it will allow you to use your emotions productively not ignore them.

@@BrynneMuir I think wisdom comes from life experience, your willingness to learn from your mistakes, and the ability to admit we all know very little. I agree that your ability for self-reflection, self analysis, and critique is something that can be improved over time, so wisdom does help. To me, I define emotional maturity as a goal that I am continually trying to reach, my initial comment is directed to what is being pushed into our schools to our children and the young adults in college. They are intelligent but they are not being taught anything that will help them began on their path to emotional maturity, in fact it is just the opposite, they are being taught that their feelings define themselves, are meant to drive their decisions, and that they are not responsible for their actions. As a result, they lack any emotional awareness, control, or true empathy, this comes from the self-centered notion that their feelings are what matter the most.

Conservative = Anti-Learning Sorry, but you won´t find much science in your bible.

True. Nothing opens peoples eyes more than seeing things for themselves as opposed to being told how things are... getting a decent nights sleep definitely helps. God knows staying *_"Woke"_* too long can seriously mess with your brain.

What do you mean kind black people?

Truth doesn't have to be appealing. If it were, everyone would believe it.
