wisdom without knowledge? I say yes because Einstein was very wise, Energy equals mass times energy squared an things, but the dude forgot how to eat with a fork.

Knowledge is relative...... Wisdom is learning from your mistakes.....knowledge is and can be useless information. Kinda like life smart/book stupid or book smart/life stupid.

Yes. Aside from intellectual aptitude (stuff learned in school, etc.), there's also emotional aptitude, which determines the the so-called "wisdom" part of the human psyche.

I would have to say no. If I didn't have knowledge a burner on the stove is hot or what hot is, little would prevent me from touching it.

ok case in point....... Knowledge that the stove is hot and will burn you........yet you do it anyways....... Is that wisdom????? ok better example.......drug addiction. You have the knowledge that you are addicted and it is bad for you yet you do it anyways........wisdom??? where does that come into play??? You dont want to but you do it anyways.....

Good point indeed Gypsy. There is bit of different circumstances involved though. There is some chemical reward in respect to it which creates a pattern. A subject that really boggles me to no end is why people stay with abusive partners. Wisdom is more the ability act on the knowledge you have from my point of view.

ya brain dead and brain smott are 2 different things...... knowledge and wisdom......... knowledge = to know what is right and wrong wisdom= to know and act accordingly

Old English Proverb Wisdom is only after the fact, never before. I actually concluded this myself about "wisdom" before I ran into the quote.
