Smart Thinking for a Smarter World

People are cleverer than ever before. Yet, the world is still full of tough problems. Climate change, fake news, and political fights are just a few. Even with all our smarts, we're not solving these issues fast enough. That's because we need more than just brains. We need wisdom. Wisdom is not just about being smart. It's about using our knowledge in the right way. It's about understanding people and making good choices. But, scientists are not studying wisdom enough. They're busy studying other things. This is a problem. We need to know more about wisdom to fix the world's big issues.Right now, there are some tools to measure wisdom. But, we need more. We need to know how to teach wisdom. And, we need to know how to use it in groups. This is called collective wisdom. It's when a group of people make smart choices together. There are three big areas that need more study. First, how do wise people solve problems? Second, how can we teach wisdom? Third, how can groups be wiser? These are important questions. They could help us fix the world's problems. The goal is to get more scientists to study wisdom. We need to understand it better. Only then can we use it to solve big problems. It's not just about being smart. It's about being wise.
