This sounds like one of those stories designed to encourage people who fail at school that "street smarts" are better than "book smarts."

That's probably what your teacher said isn't it.

My personal opinion is that that's a bunch of bull, so yeah.



I agree and heatedly disagree with you.

Now I'm more of a street smarts person being raised by biker/striper/tattoo artist does that to you.But unfortunately in this world if you went into o say a tattoo shop or a biker bar I know how to act and how to survive those environments.I doubt a book smart person would be able to even if they had the knowledge(or desire), just an example but always a blend of street/book is gonna help you more than just one or the other imo.


wisdom ain't the same as knowledge bro

Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

Quite possibly the dumbest question ever. And anyone who thinks flying around the world and learning about a couple of things is more efficient than reading 3000 books to obtain wisdom is retarded..

Unless you're blindfolded and dropped into Harlem or whatever "street smarts" isn't going to do anything for you. (And even then I highly doubt it'd matter lulz. Eating chinese food in shanghai won't make you "street smart" so this is just silly. Your teacher was a moron.)

Kids, stay in school.

since 90% of wisdom is how you are perceived, the one with better social skills is wiser

My middle school teacher once asked me this question one time a long time ago, and I forgot what he said about it... (damn). But anyways, I was hoping you guys could give me your input on the situation.

So the story goes something like this,
Two twin boys grow up in the same town in almost the exact same way. After finishing high school, they are given a challenge by their father to obtain "wisdom." The first son decides to take a plane and go visit many different parts of the world. Experiencing different cultures, meeting new people, and observing nature. The second son decides to spend most of his days in the worlds biggest library reading every book he can possibly find. Learning about all the great philosophers and their beliefs, reading all the great novels and living vicariously through the characters in each story, and learning all about the natural world.


After five years, the brothers meet back at their house.

The question is... at this point. Who is wiser?


Theoretically, if you asked a wise person what the correct course of action would be something; ideally you are looking for a wise response. The question should really be, at this point when the brothers meet, who is more capable to judge or discern what is wise and what is not. There are inherit benefits to experiencing cultures and people first hand, but I think that the second son would be more adept to give you a wise choice. I think he would also be socially awkward at that point as well, as opposed to the other son, but I know plenty of people that make very intellectual and wise choices when they are removed from a situation.
