  • 2ZQHT152 – There’s No Fool Like an Old Fool

     30:05
    You are listening to 2ZQ Hot takes, where we discuss issues both big and small; I am your host TVHTim Kirk and today I'll be talking about ‘There’s no fool like an old fool.’ The empirical study of wisdom is a relatively recent phenomena and is mostly drawn from Europe and North America. While there is no universal formula for wisdom and there are many conflicting opinions about how we gain wisdom, merely experiencing life and/or adversity are not indicators of wisdom.We should all learn to be wiser, the sooner the better. Wisdom is beneficial to cope with loneliness as we age and our wellbeing as we age depends on wisdom to large degree and we can be more receptive to acquiring wisdom throughout life if we possess a sense of humor, show empathy towards others, transcend the ‘self’ when we can, continuously learn throughout our lives, keep our thinking fluid and reflect on our experiences.
