You are well read guy and most likely in your tweenies. Your interests encompass astronomy and physics. You know more then I can ever hope to know about those subjects. Does it make you “wise”? No – as I see it. But because of not being “wise” you may purse idea that “wise” man would consider hopeless. You may succeed or you may fail, but you have taken path that wise man would not. In that endeavour you may contribute to the cumulative human knowledge and taken further to being “wise”

Karl;
Wisdom is a human quality available to all. Knowledge is part of what defines wisdom, as are: perceptiveness, self awareness (identity), freedom of choice, questioning, values and decision, just to name a few.
All of these are available to youth, because I say so.
They are not available to youth because you say so.
Which of these perspectives is the wiser ?
Cheers
