Wisdom is the next step on the path to [Artificial Intelligence]].

Context

• The human path to coping with Knowledge starts with data which leads to information which leads to Wisdom.
• Ray Kurzweil described the life of knowledge "Whether data or wisdom, information will survive only if we want it to. By extension, we can only live for as long as we care about ourselves. ... Out civilizations' trove of knowledge does not simply survive by itself. We must continually rediscover, reinterpret, and reformat the legacy of culture and technology that our forebears have bestowed on us. All of this information will be fleeting if no one cares about it. Translating our currently hardware thoughts into software will not necessarily provide us with immorality. It will simply place the means to determine how long we want our lives and thoughts to last in our own figurative hands."

Problem

There are two views of wisdom:

1. Wisdom came first and the the corruption of it that is our world.
2. Our world first created intellegny life which is struggling to create wisdom from the existence of that world.
