Wisdom is not innate.
- I guess it's semantics. Maybe a certain wisdom is innate.set
- Plato believed that all knowledge is innate and we just reveal it to ourselves through study and experience (I think).fadein11
- That means literally nothing, though. Whether we're all sparks of god and know everything and have to 'reveal' it to ourselves or..set
- or Socrates or one of those old guys.fadein11
- whether we're just mechanical beings that have to 'learn' it. It's ultimately exactly the same thing.set
- In relation to whether it's innate or not, I mean. You still have to discover it.set
- You could argue that a feral child with no knowledge or anything could still be wise though. It's an interesting debate, for sure.set
- knowledge of anything*set
- yep wisdom and knowledge v.different.fadein11
- Well that's obvious but is wisdom innate? I guess it is. Babies are all retards but some babies are predisposed to become wise people, and some not.set
