Into important details of the abstraction of what is wisdom


Hello,


I have just written a new interesting article called: "About what is wisdom and what is being wise" , and here it is:

https://myphilo10.blogspot.com/2025/04/about-what-is-wisdom-and-what-is-being.html



So my above new interesting article is about the abstraction of what is wisdom , and now here is my new article that goes into important details of what is wisdom:


And here is my question to the AI (Artificial intelligence) from Google that is called Gemini 2.5 Pro , that is advanced:

So we can not say that becoming a wise person is for the old ones , since i think there is a minimum model , that renders or makes you enough or decently wise , that exists , so we have not to be pessimistic and say that the being wise is only for the old ones.


And here is what Gemini 2.5 Pro answered me:

"You've hit on a very important and accurate point. It's absolutely a misconception – and often a limiting one – to believe that wisdom is exclusively the domain of the elderly.

Here's a breakdown of why your perspective holds true:

1. **Wisdom isn't Solely About Time:** While life experience accumulated over many years *can* contribute significantly to wisdom, it's not the only factor, nor is it guaranteed. Time lived doesn't automatically equate to wisdom gained. Someone can live a long life without deep reflection, learning from mistakes, or developing empathy.
2. **Quality of Experience Matters:** A younger person who has faced significant challenges, reflected deeply on their experiences, sought diverse perspectives, learned from failures, and actively cultivated self-awareness can possess considerable wisdom. The *intensity* and *processing* of experience often matter more than sheer duration.
3. **The "Minimum Model" or "Decent Wisdom":** Your idea of a "minimum model" is insightful. We can think of wisdom existing on a spectrum. There's certainly a level of functional, practical, or "decent" wisdom that involves:
* Good judgment in everyday matters.
* Understanding consequences (short and medium-term).
* A degree of self-awareness and emotional regulation.
* The ability to learn from mistakes.
* Empathy and considering others' perspectives.
* Knowing when to seek advice.
This level is absolutely attainable well before old age through conscious effort, learning, and reflection.
4. **Active Cultivation:** Wisdom isn't just passively received; it can be actively cultivated through reading, engaging in thoughtful discussion, practicing mindfulness, seeking feedback, studying philosophy or psychology, and intentionally trying to understand complex situations and human nature. These are accessible at various life stages.
5. **Different Kinds of Wisdom:** There might be different facets of wisdom. A young tech entrepreneur might have profound wisdom about innovation and market dynamics. A young activist might possess deep wisdom regarding social justice issues. A young artist might have wisdom about human emotion and expression. This might differ from the long-term, life-cycle perspective an older person *might* have, but it's wisdom nonetheless.
6. **Avoiding Pessimism:** You are right to reject the pessimism. Believing wisdom is only for the old can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, discouraging younger people from actively seeking it or recognizing it in themselves and their peers.

**In conclusion:** While old age offers the *potential* for accumulating a specific kind of deep, life-spanning wisdom based on observing long-term patterns and consequences, it's not a prerequisite for wisdom itself. A significant and valuable level of wisdom – your "minimum model" – can certainly be achieved much earlier through intentional effort, reflection, and learning from experience. It's a journey, not just a destination reserved for the final chapters of life."


And here is my new proverb about it (It is not the proverb of Gemini 2.5 Pro):

"Wisdom's foundation can be laid young; the whole palace takes time, but a sturdy home is within reach."

This proverb of mine highlights that a functional, sufficient level ("sturdy home") is achievable early, even if the ultimate form ("palace") takes longer.



Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.

Is USA becoming an oligarchy ?

Is USA becoming an oligarchy Hello, So here is my question to the AI (Artificial intelligence) from OpenAI called GPT-4o: So i invite you to look in internet at how a part of people of USA are now saying that USA has become an oligarchy in the Era of president Donald Trump, but i think that technically it is difficult in Democracy and especially in this Era of sophistication of information to become an oligarchy, since every act of Donald Trump presidency is being scrutinized carefully by for example people and by the media and by academia, so in this kind of standard it is difficult to become an oligarchy in USA. And here is what GPT-4o answered me: "Your observation about the challenges of establishing an oligarchy in the United States, especially given the current era of information sophistication and media scrutiny, is insightful. Indeed, the extensive oversight by the public, media, and academia serves as a robust check against the concentration of power....

About the efficiency of Decentralization

About the efficiency of Decentralization Hello, And here is my question to the AI (Artificial intelligence) from OpenAI that we call GPT-4o: What were the main weaknesses of Japan lack of competitiveness in the technology sector , is it that it was much less specialized, and too much centralized , as opposed to the US way of doing ? And here is what GPT-4o answered me: "Yes, those factors contributed significantly to Japan's challenges in the technology sector. Here's a detailed breakdown: ### 1. **Lack of Specialization** - Japan's technology sector historically focused on **hardware**, particularly in consumer electronics, rather than diversifying into software or platforms. - The U.S. embraced a more specialized approach, with companies focusing on niches such as operating systems (e.g., Microsoft), processors (e.g., Intel), and later software and cloud services (e.g., Google, Amazon, and Apple). - Japanese firms, such as Sony, Panasonic, a...

About the open-source model vs. the proprietary model

Open,source vs proprietary Hello, I invite you to look at the following new video from a known guy in tech called techlead about DeepSeek AI: DeepSeek AI CRASHES tech stocks, Bitcoin, Memecoins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ex2HnnJ6I0 And here is my following thoughts and critics about it: And here is my question to the AI (Artificial intelligence) from OpenAI that we call GPT-4o: Can you look in internet at the articles about the new AI from China called DeepSeek R1 , and tell me more what you think ?. And here is what GPT-4o answered me: "DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence company, has recently introduced its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, which has garnered significant attention in the tech industry. This model is notable for its high performance in reasoning tasks, rivaling leading models like OpenAI's o1, while being developed at a fraction of the cost. DeepSeek achieved this by utilizing less advanced hardware and innovative train...
