I think increased wisdom would increase tolerance, but increased knowledge could increase impatience

Well, I didn't have the internet when I was growing up. But, now that we do have it, I use it all the time. One website I would suggest is wikipedia. You can start on some topic and click links on words to go see what they are about. It's great. About the 'having trouble reading' thing. I know exactly what you are talking about. When I was in college and studying philosophy, I would ponder things while I was reading. After a while, I would realize that I had read the same sentence over and over and over and I still didn't understand what it was saying. My suggestion is: some reading material will be better absorbed at different times in your life. Unless you just HAVE to understand some piece of writing, if you're not getting it, leave it for another time and move on to something else that you are capable of concentrating on. Hope this helps and major luck to you... P.S. There are far too many places to begin so type in a word at the website below and keep linking until you've accessed every piece of knowledge available. :)

Increased knowledge "requires" and increase in tolerance, but they don't come together. If you notice, the mayority of people don't act as smart as they really are. That tells you they're not using their knowledge to be tolerant towards others. The rest is ego.

Not necessarily, I used to believe that it did..... but I've meat some very educated people that are very close minded and have no tolerance ... (they could be racist for example) ...
it made me a little sad because my theory turned out to be wrong....
my new theory is increased exposure increases tolerance.

It would seem likely that the more people knew the more tolerant they would be of others. But that does not mean all intelligent people are tolerant. Tolerance may also be contingent on exposure to a variety of people and ones training.

Seems as though it would, but sometimes it brings out increased bigotry, as the knowledge is used to validate the persons beliefs

no, you can be a very knowledgeable person and be very intolerant of other people's beliefs.
however, if you increase your tolerance for others then I would say your knowledge of your surroundings increases.

No, knowledge is relevant only to the subject matter. Tolerance relates to the effect. eg.Knowing about alcohol has no connection to the effect it has when consumed.

the more you open yourself up to new ideas and new experiences (including knowing new individuals), the more tolerant you will be ...
Because one of the biggest lessons in the acquisition of knowledge is that there are rotten 'fruit' in all things, situations or people .. and these rotten ones do NOT necessarily mean that the whole batch is rotten ... in fact, it is the vast majority of things/people/emotions that are beneficial and caring ... and these outweigh the poor experiences in life.

No, that should erase intolerance. Knowledge should lead to understanding and understanding implies tolerance.
