I think we seem wise because most of us know that with the time we have left on this planet, we'd rather be riding than posing.

I knew everything when I was 16, it has been downhill since then.

Now there is a discussion - wisdom vs intelligence.

Yes there is a difference and that is an interesting discussion. And there is also a difference between knowledge and intelligence.

I have met some really smart people who were extremely ignorant.

Perhaps wisdom is the effective use of knowledge and intelligence....

Yep. I was married to one of those.

Wisdom and Intelligence are a time machine. One's for going forward, the other's for going back. If you don't have both, you have a pretty cruddy time machine on your hands.

Maybe we could have a therapy group

Yes, this is quite a grouping of wise guys.

Ah Grasshopper, the day you can snatch the rlet from my hand, you will have attained the skill and wisdom that you seek.

Many ignorant people became politicians.
