Wisdom/Action/Knowledge

[Cabbo Pearimo]

Intelligence is the application of wisdom to knowledge, not just knowledge.

And the application of knowledge/wisdom to action.

 

[Cabbo Pearimo]

Re: Do you like being an INTP?

Application involves action.


Action = wisdom / knowledge
Knowledge = wisdom / action
Wisdom = knowledge x action

 

[Cabbo Pearimo]

Re: Do you like being an INTP?

I got that wrong:


Wisdom = Knowledge / Action
Knowledge = Action / Wisdom
Action = Knowledge x Wisdom




... or something.

Re: Do you like being an INTP?

I wouldn't say wisdom, knowledge, and action relate like a mathematical expression. It's more of a relationship. Something like

Wisdom is acting on knowledge
Knowledge is potential for wisdom
Action is putting knowledge to work.

 

[Cabbo Pearimo]

Re: Do you like being an INTP?

It was a joke.

Wisdom is creating the device to set knowledge into action.
Knowledge is the end result of successful wisdom.
Action is applying knowledge and wisdom to a situation.

Re: Do you like being an INTP?

Knowledge is a resource that is useless if not put to use.

Intelligence offers an effective way to put knowledge to use.

Wisdom allows one to consider the short and long-term consequences of doing so.

Action is the concrete result of effectively (or otherwise) putting knowledge (whether flawed or otherwise) to use, after filtering it through wisdom.

Yippie, it's cracked.

Re: Do you like being an INTP?

So, we've got 'knowledge', 'intelligence', and 'wisdom'? Oh, and 'action'...

Knowledge is strictly information.
Intelligence is the processing of knowledge.
Wisdom is the refining of intelligence into serving an interest, often one of morality.

Action can be a result of the unintelligent application of knowledge. That is bad.
Action can be a result of the intelligent application of knowledge. This is better.
Action can be a result of wisdom's refinement of intelligence. This is best, for at least one party (depending on the interest of the Doer.)

Not to be a meanie, but your jokish formulas turn out as nonsense if you think about it.

Let's see about it, shall we?
If Wisdom is Knowledge/Action, this results in a dilemma about laziness. If Knowledge is a constant, the less action you apply, the more wisdom comes out. Which means the lazier you are, the better. Not true. Or, the more knowledge you apply on a constant about of action, the more wisdom comes out.

If Knowledge is Action/Wisdom, this results in a dilemma of laziness or lack of wisdom. After all, if Action is a constant, then the more Wisdom you apply, the more Knowledge comes out. Also, the more Wisdom you apply on a constant Action, the more Knowledge comes out. Which just doesn't make sense.

If Action is Knowledge*Wisdom, this results in a funny thing:
Action=Knowledge*Wisdom |Knowledge=Action/Wisdom
Action=(Action/Wisdom)*Wisdom |Wisdom= Knowledge/Action
Action=(Action/Wisdom)*(Knowledge/Action)
Action=(Action*Knowledge)/(Wisdom*Action)
Action=Knowledge/Wisdom

Knowledge/Wisdom=Knowledge*Wisdom |*Wisdom
Knowledge=Knowledge*Wisdom^2 |/Knowledge
1=Wisdom^2
Wisdom=sqrt(1)
Wisdom=(+-)1

So:
Action=Knowledge/1=Knowledge Or Action=Knowledge/-1=-Knowledge

So Action is positive or negative knowledge? Damn, that makes so much sense, don't you think?

Or does it make sense that Wisdom is a constant?

So I think it's safe to conclude that there is no mathematical formula to it. At least not one like this.

And no, I'm not trying to put anyone down here, I just honestly wanted to see what came out of it. This time, I think you should believe me. And yes, I would rather have people say if there are any mistakes in whatever I've done.

As for me liking or not liking being an INTP, I don't really care about it. It's not like I think about it that much. Though, due to a rather extreme level of procrastination involved in pretty much everything I do from cleaning the room to reading for an exam, I'm usually seen as lacking motivation. And I'm rarely a good leader character, which mainly makes me a shadow in any group.

Re: Do you like being an INTP?

One could make the argument that one is wiser if they think before doing, resulting in less irrational action. That said, Cabbo's equation is still simplistic, but not completely illogical.

Less irrational, but still pretty strange, don't you think?

Again, one could argue against that. One could say that the wiser one is, the more they learn (acquire knowledge) from their and others' actions.

Because I love dictionaries, I'm going to throw a little dictionary here:
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=90907&dict=CALD

Now, if you look at that, it clearly states a correlation between Action and Knowledge in defining Wisdom. However, since Action+Knowledge makes no sense since one is a quantity and the other is a measurement of time, it has to be something else. Also, Action*Knowledge makes little sense, since "Action" is measured in time, whereas Knowledge is measured in an abstract quantity. So I would rather say that Wisdom = Knowledge/Action makes the most sense out of all the possibilities.

However, to define Knowledge and Action from there gets even funnier.

Knowledge:
Wisdom=Knowledge/Action |*Action
Knowledge=Wisdom*Action

Now, this looks pretty darn strange, don't you think?

Also, from there, we end up with the following:

Action:
Knowledge=Wisdom*Action |/Wisdom
Action=Knowledge/Wisdom

Now, exactly HOW THE HELL is this supposed to make ANY sense?

Oh right, it doesn't.

I guess dictionaries are no good in this case.
