One fascinating cultural facet of the onset of AI, is that never before, has it been this easy to discern between intelligence and wisdom.

Intelligence is a by-product of education. A filter of knowledge executed against a query. It filters across contexts, and points to what is true or false.

Wisdom is the by-product of execution. A counterintuitive antithesis to knowledge. It sparks into existence, from nowhere, and points to the TRUTH (notwithstanding what is true or false).

Unlike wisdom - intelligence is lifeless, deductive and generates no new information, but simply ruminates in maddening circles, on what is already contained within it.

Intelligence is a book. Wisdom is the storyteller. And leadership is a service that enables this discernment, and empowers others to expand their potential to harness the latter.
