Wiz-dumb v. Wisdom

What Seems Wise, often Lacks Wisdom

By Vincent Triola & Terry Trueman

Explore and contrast the difference between true wisdom and false wisdom with articles that expose and debunk the cliché advice and superficial observations that masquerade as thoughtful contemplations, making us question, what the hell is wisdom? You will also learn from articles that reveal and celebrate the true wisdom that comes from deep reflection, critical thinking, and ethical action, making us appreciate, the truth.

Reducing problems to obvious answers doesn't make you wise; it reveals you as a shallow, blithering idiot. Worse yet, this logic rarely solves anything. Learn to be more discerning, curious, and wise. Don't fall for wiz-dumb and live your best, most-successful life.
