Do you feel you can be wise but dumb at the same time?

Question

Well... plenty of college educated retards out there now that don't have a lick of sense. Then they wonder why the "conspiracy therists" keep turning out to be correct. And I'll put it like this...

The skill of school requires you to have the skill of memorizing what you're told to memorize and reciting it. Wisdom, or the sense that I spoke of, that's just pure logic. Wisdom is also experience... you just know because you've already seen it before.

I attacked that from the opposite end for a reason... you're asking if someone can be wise but dumb at the same time. Yes... they can. Just from experience they might know the best course of action... but oh dang, they don't know the names of all the parts, or the correct terms.

I'll put it like this though... guess who gets the job first... brainiac that has memorized terms and labels or people that's already done the job successfully for years. Remember that boss is also probably based more in experience and basic logic first rather than just knowing the big words. He knows the big words, but that doesn't require college to learn.

There's a lot of things that make me feel dumb, compared to the knowledge others have on a subject. Car maintenance or cars in general, is definitely one of them! People that know history always impress me, especially on here, I think I must have slept through history class 🤷 But there's things I have knowledge of that a lot of others don't.

A person may possess wisdom in relationships, emotions, or life decisions, yet exhibit a lack of intelligence in other areas of life.

NathanDavis · Answer

yes... whenever a car needs fixing

it's always wise to bring someone who actually knows how to work with them... and especially nowadays, with the newer ones with a chip on every squared inch...

basic stuff, I can do it... but if real fixing, I never bothered to actually learn it, lol

A broken clock is right at least twice a day.

And you can be dumb in one subject and knowledgeable in another, you don’t have to know everything since it’s not expected. Although you should strive for knowledge best you can to absorb it since knowledge comes power.

ohsheeT · Answer

Hell yes we have to laugh we can't be serious all the time we have to cut up make jokes until tears come out of our eyes until we pee our pants that is part of life those are good days LOL it's only good to be wise when you need to be serious or when you're in a predicament but other than that it's good to be dumb and laugh and crack up and just have fun

Cyfris · Answer

Absolutely all the time. Wisdom is as much about knowing what you don't know as it is about what you know. Like wisdom is applied knowledge. But no one can know everything. I'm real dumb about womens fashion but wise enough to know what on average would look good to a majority of people. But like real dumb about it.. It's actually pathetic how bad I am at fashion.

Theunfadeable · Answer

no. That’s two total opposite ends of the Spectrum. You can be wise, well-being, undisciplined and making very bad decisions, though. They see most people who are geniuses aren’t even successful because they’re super intelligent, but they like to drive and connection with other people that allows in the lease success ful.

OneViewpoint · Answer

Everyone can be intelligent / wise... right up the the point our emotions overload our common sense and we start thinking with our ego or our sex organs.

Snakeyes7 · Answer

I guess it depends on what you mean by dumb. As in lack of knowledge or inability to retain it?

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

The dumbest part in my life, it's where i believed that i can be loved the same way i love the others or being cared about as much as i cared about others...

That's what made me dumb and wise at the same time...
