Wisdom Talks

Wisdom (sapience, sagacity, sophont) is the use of one's knowledge and experience to make good judgements. Wisdom is the interpreting and understanding of knowledge that leads to greater insight (e.g., common sense). Wisdom is a pragmatic kind of "praxis (process)" where one is constantly using metacognition.
