Philosophy - October 2006

intelligence: capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.

wisdom: the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight.

intelligence is innate. wisdom grows through time. but can one be considered wise without necessarily being intelligent? and how is this intelligence measured btw?

thanks in advance.

"i am a republican."
"i am a compassionate person."
"i am a muslim."

do statements like these that people use to identify themselves serve as blueprints of how to live? or are they instead convenient pigeonholes for lifestyles that identify us by who we are and how we live?

what's in a name?

people on here r saying that a girl has no responsiblitry if she is rapped if she walks scantely clad into a pub with drunken horny men. OK BUT if u would not want your 16 yr old daughter to do that wat r u afraid of, if not the chance of her being rapped. Is that not admiting some men have no control and might rape .Now if u wont let your 16 yr old daughter go to a pub scantely clad with drunken horny men because some gyys will rape because they have no control Why then if a girl does the same thing she is not responsible for being rapped in a situatipon you wont even let your daughter do out of fear of her being rapped

PLAYERS
The “Fool” (say public) is the protagonist to a better world.
The “Wise” (say the person performing the deed) has first hand experience though not necessarily the ability nor skill.

STAGE
The Fool’s voice is loud such that Wise (say political, social leaders, or the person doing the job) is Expected to listen and React to the Fool’s will. The Wise are objectified as the cogs and wheels of the system (say corporates, classrooms, governments, whatever comes to your mind).

PLAY
The Fool splits and becomes the Wise Fool, The Foolish Wise or simply remains as the Fool. When does the Wise become the Fool ? (or is it merely illusory?)

Open discussion and any other premise or alteration welcomed.
