Barry Schwartz on Our Loss of Wisdom



As I like to say, Knowledge is knowing better than to lick the beater with raw cookie dough. Wisdom is doing it anyway.

I have always been a big fan of the idea, "wisdom is knowing when to shut the fuck up. "

When I was 11 my grandfather told me the difference between smart people and dumb people was , " smart people listen 2/3rd of the time and speak 1/3rd, dumb people do the reverse."

That rocked. Thanks for sharing. I love TED talks, but I'd missed that one.
