Homo Sapiens is Latin meaning “Wise Man”

— Wikipedia

Are we really so wise? How much wiser can we become? How do we increase the wisdom of each individual human? These are very relevant questions given the state of human societies and the interactions among them in the present age.

According to Oxford, wisdom is “the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement.” According to Wikipedia “wisdom is associated with … virtues such as ethics and benevolence.”

I don’t know how wise I might be, but I hope the thoughts I write will increase the wisdom of individuals. I dream that as the wisdom of individuals in societies across the globe increase sufficiently our species will find a way to improve its condition.
