Data ---> Information ---> Knowledge ---> Wisdom (split from humanity/hope)

[kristalris]

I found your post difficult to understand, so I have some questions and observations that may help you to help me. should you wish to do so.

 

When you say you have grasped more hope for humanity, do you mean that you have become more hopeful, or you have generated more hope? the use of the active verb grasp creates ambiguity.

 

How does an observational event differ from an ordinary event? How does a simple observational event differ froma complex one? Is the distinction important and if so how?

 

Why do you think that desparate people will be more motivated to behave in rational cooperative ways than non-desparate people?

 

Why do you find it sensible to trust the condition of society? What makes you feel that we can consider the diversity in global cultures insufficient to merit considering them distinct societies? What are the similarities between say, Peruvian subsistence farmers and Wall Street brokers that enable us to consider them part of a single society?

 

Can you give examples of where major problems have been solved by just trusting to luck and expecting that things will sort themselves out?

 

If there is no point in discussing this sort of thing, why are you discussing this sort of thing?

I agree with you on this, however your standard quote:

 

Data ---> Information ---> Knowledge ---> Wisdom

 

I don't fully agree on / depends what you mean; then I would.

 

Wisdom IMO = creative intelligence + knowledge (i.e. also science as book wisdom) + experience

 

I.e. more Data ----> more information = more book wisdom ----> more knowledge ------> more wisdom But I guess you mean to say that?
