Thread Name: BS: Big Brain - Little Brain
Subject: RE: BS: Big Brain - Little Brain
Me and the Wes Ginny Slide Rule were jus' talkin' about this the other day...

Yeah, it kinda thinks that I ain't got niether a big 'er little brain at times but what's a danged piece of wood know???

But really, it ain't about a brains ability to process information as it for a brain to convert that information into knowledge and, in turn, covert that knowledge into wisdom...

The Wes Ginny Slide Rule is real good at the first two but not capable of reaching the 3rd step but to it's credit, it freely admits that...

Now, yeah, academics will come up with all kinds of models for information>knowldge>wisdom formation but bottom line, ain't no graphs or pictures taht can fully explain how people get wiser, or in folks like George Bush, don't get wiser...

It's my own ****belief*** (yeah, as in Faith, you know, the other "f wod"...) that folks have an amazing ability to develope wisdom but the societial prssures to be successfull and prosperous satand in the way of this wisdom developing because wisdom ain't about makin' a buck or holding power over another person or country...

So, yeah, there may be a big brain, or whatever one wants to call it, but bottom line, it takes a lot less brain to develope it...

That's this ol' hillbilly's take on the subject...

Peace,

Bobert
