I don't know this article grasps what wisdom is, except for being able to shallowly write out a definition.
There's tons of wisdom out there, but the more widely applicable it is (across different people/experiences), the more abstract or general it must to be and is thus not directly applicable.
Specific wisdom (like for a highly constrained problem) is awesome, but you and your life are quite unique so this is very hard to find or probably doesn't exist. (Should I move away from home for a job? Well.. that depends on a thousand factors AND your unique self)
Trying to optimize for wisdom is a little like optimizing for meaning, I think. Adopting it from others can be counter productive.
