"Anything can be taken to an extreme. Intelligence means knowing where to draw the line." --Unknown

[Flipside]

And intelligence will draw the line. Simple ostracisation is just pushing these people underground, hopefully a few months of members, no interest and no votes will show them in an intelligent manner that they are not wanted. If anything, simply trusting our animal insticts allows them to take the position of Martyr, whereas the Democratic system has no patience for Martyrs.

Intelligence is knowledge.  Wisdom is application of knowledge.  Therefore "knowing where to draw the line" is wisdom, not intelligence.

Intelligence is knowledge.  Wisdom is application of knowledge.  Therefore "knowing where to draw the line" is intelligence, not wisdom, for wisdom would be just "drawing the line"

No; "knowing where to draw the line" is a judgement call, arrived at by weighing various factors.  It's not a fact that can be scientifically or mathematically proven.

Drawing the line is the judgement call. Knowing where to draw the line is knowledge, either by means of a pencil or wit.

One can be intelligent without following the scientific principle.

Intelligence is the application of Knowledge. Knowledge is knowing a fact. Wisdom is the ability to judge what facts or knowledge are right or wrong / having insight on the knowledge.

Without wisdom, intelligence is flawed as the knowledge it is applying may be incorrect.

[Flipside]

Wisdom is the interpretation of knowledge, not application. An older person is considered wise not simply because of his level of intelligence, but experience in applying what he knows to life also.

However, the downside of Wisdom is that it is often rooted in sociology, a wise man in one tribe will not neccessarily say the same thing as a wise man in another, though both comments may be correct for that particular sociological structure.

Wisdom is the application of Intelligence, but it is not neccesarily the impartial application of it.

This could be fun....

[Colonol Dekker]

I believe wisdom and intelligence are interchangeble views of a persons intelligence based on a point of view from a less intelligent individual, also the level of society around that person has a ratifying impact on choce of word. It primariyl depends on your accepted definition of the words to begin with though....................

I don't think I've ever seen the words 'Wisdom, Intelligence and Knowledge' appear so often in an HLP thread

I don't think I've ever seen wisdom, intelligence, or knowledge appear in an HLP thread.

I see you avoid General FS in its entirety then.

Or for that matter any thread involving evolution...
