Re: Age and Wisdom
not true....
case in point: politicians
considering that most politicians only get to positions of power after they are 40 (cases of prime ministers or presidents of younger age are rare) and considering that these people are complete morons....
if these people got wiser as they grew old.......how stupid would they have to be when they were young?Is such a thing even possible? I mean how would such people survive? they would surelly have forgot to inhale and exhale or something

I stick by my post however. Dont forget the disclaimer
Politicians certainly do not fall into this categoryOnly if you learn from your experiences and take the right lessons from them.

Re: Age and Wisdom
age ≠ wisdom
I've known plenty of people who became less wise as they got older. It all depends on how you react to and learn from experience. Or don't, as the case may be.

Appearently breathing doesn't require much brainpower.
Husar, I've seen that one as a proverb (although it was formulated that the stupid ones learns from thier own mistakes and the wise ones from others).
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
