It’s interesting, but I doubt there is an across the board agreement on what ‘wisdom’ is.

There rarely is with any psychological concept, but I think wisdom is one of the harder ones to define. I read an attempted definition several years ago that felt incomplete.

It’s a fine line between being wise and just being plain boring.
