		<description>I&#039;ve found regardless of education, wisdom or knowledge, the problem is action and inaction or lets say laziness.  

So wisdom, knowledge, education etc. has been defined in some above posts

I teach students about information literacy which is defined as the ability to know when you need information, how and where to find it (higher quality is the goal) and how to use it. and believe all decisions are based on some bit of information.  To get that information you need to be educated somehow, whether formally or informally.  Knowledge comes with, in my opinion, not necessarily experience but rather some sense of purpose or genuine interest in this bit of information you&#039;ve acquired. Formal education of course is through school, as an apprentice or perhaps through some training program (probably the case of &quot;pool guy&quot; ((our joe the plumber in this blog)) informal is anything from looking for tomorrow&#039;s weather on the weather channel to your parent&#039;s teaching you to tie your shoe.  Wisdom, relies on education and knowledge, so a person who is educated and has had some purpose or genuine interest in a bit of information is likely to make wise choices related to that topic.  So... a medical doctor, is less likely to make a wise business choice than an entrepreneur, lets say.  And the pool guy, probably has wisdom when it comes to pool choices, perhaps sun protection and maybe even child safety around pools.</description>

		<description>Still only half way through the Clearly You&#039;re Retarded episode you spawned, but I wanted to add here:

Knowledge is knowing how to do something.

Intelligence is the ability to figure out how to do something.

Wisdom is knowing what should be done.</description>

		<description>@Jessica:  A sheltered and privileged life does set up conditions that would not be conducive to empathy (which I think is fundamental to wisdom).  Still, I think the rare exception does come about now and then.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s no question to me. Education does not equal wisdom. Just sitting in on one of my literture tutorials, you can get an accurate picture of how ignorant some formally educated people can be (included some venerated authors). 

I believe that wisdom does come through experience or like Ren said learning from others experiences. Personally I find that people who&#039;ve spent most of their lives in a privileged position, around others in that same position tend to lack wisdom and certain insights.</description>

		<description>@Ren: That was very well said.  Rote learning clearly illustrates how our society emphasizes knowledge over wisdom.  Instead of realizing that the really noble products of our civilization are always the result of both.  And your tangential point?  YES.  I vote for an education system like THAT.</description>
