Who are the wisest members?

[PoetPhilosopher]

Sure. Three guys discussing a very attractive female celebrity on the internet. I can only see wisdom arising from that conversation.

I've seen worse.

 

[The Hammer]

I'm not talking about 'Notable members'. This only means that they've posted a lot over a long period. It doesn't necessarily mean that they're knowledgeable, let alone wise.

I want to know who can perfectly reason that their belief is singularly true. Please contact me if you're serious.

So why do you ask?

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I've seen worse.

Perhaps if we kept it intellectual and decorous. Maybe an extension of the thread that Enoch07 created regarding her recent efforts at organizing a sex strike. Develop a wise and logical argument...yeah. No. It is just not going to work out.

How does one prove objectively something that can be explained subjectively? I'm sure all of us can exhibit experience, knowledge and good judgement (all elements of wisdom) but even history has shown evil leaders have those same qualities as well.

How will you know the wisest?

I do feel a little something though... I might be becoming wise in a sort of way... a wisesaltine'r? No that's not the right terminology.

 

[Enoch07]

What if in the process of the three of us talking about Milano... we find some nugget of truth which makes us wise?

Dan might not be ready for that kind of truth!

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Dan might not be ready for that kind of truth!

Some truths require certain inclinations that Dan has never had, so it may not be a question of ready, but of a lack of of a platform to launch from. But if the subtext of this response has nothing to do with anything you are talking about, then I meant something else.

You lost me on that. You may have moved to a level above my pay grade.

A good question. All I know is that I have been very helpful in providing examples of what is not wise.

Since wisdom is the application of knowledge in order to arrive at logical conclusions.....on what subject in particular do you need perfect reasoning? I am thinking that such wisdom is possessed solely by the Almighty.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

You guys have me feeling the excitement of Mr. Krabs when he went on the Panty Raid. Of course, we all know how that episode ended.

 

[Quagmire]

We don't allow wise people here. Makes the rest of us look bad.

 

[dybmh]

Optimists are always wise. Always.

 

[KelseyR]

Their belief in what?
Because if that's undefined, I'll submit myself. If there is a particular belief paradigm you're talking about, though, I'll almost certainly withdraw.

Their belief about reality: what happens when we die. I'd think this would be obvious on a religious site.

 

[KelseyR]

Well she did say.




That implies a private conversation to me. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it?

I'm getting almost nothing but joking and committed to ignorance responses on this thread. Private seems the way to go.
