Is the Web a Source of Wisdom?

We hear very little about wisdom today.  Instead, we hear more and more about the importance of information — about the virtues of information and the benefits of increased information.  “Big data” and “data mining” are the buzz words of the day.  These are quite literally seen by humanity as their savior.  But it is important to recognize that information, knowledge, and wisdom are not the same things.  I want to lay out the building blocks first from a humanistic … [Read more...] about Is the Web a Source of Wisdom?
