      In the U.S., education is mostly about being able to regurgitate what you’ve been told. Wisdom is, as you suggested, not necessary for that.

        Unfortunately so. There should be more emphasis on the why and how rather than the what.

        Wait, are there places where it’s not?

          I don’t know. I’ve only been to school in the U.S.

      Intelligence and wisdom.

      Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
