I don’t think that simply grabbing people from a handful of countries somehow cancels out groupthink from the data, which is more likely to affect perceptions of wisdom. Especially when information on who to trust is constantly pushed by globalist media organizations.
Take COVID for example, the WHO was universally portrayed as wise. The world went along with their conclusions but Sweden, South Korea and large parts of the US obviously didn’t, despite having little in common culturally. My conclusion is that perceptions of wisdom are more a function of the media than they are any particular culture or nationality.
- DiscourseFan 2y agoWisdom here is not something that is specifically outlined in discourse but pointed towards through a constellation of qualities observed by a random set of individuals

- DiscourseFan 2y agoWhat is insincere about claiming that Wisdom cannot be described succinctly?
- whoChumpedwho 2y agoyou're going in the wrong direction with this line of questioning. language is couched in culture. the single source of truth can be accepted or ignored, either way... sincerity of purpose and wisdom are paired.
- DiscourseFan 2y ago>language is couched in culture If that were true, then it wouldn’t be possible to translate between all languages. There are conditions of possibility of language use that are universal, even if they do not appear in any given language. But one also expresses themselves other than in words, like in artworks, and this expression often has the same force as language: in fact, the expression itself precludes language and if words are used it is only as a means. Affective history, upon which words move, is that condition of possibility for expression.
