    I think it’s also ability to learn and ability to extrapolate and correctly understand the lessons learned. A fool (one lacking wisdom) may see the car going the wrong way down the one way street and conclude that it’s not a one way street or that traffic rules don’t matter, whereas the wise person sees it and concludes that sometimes people will ignore traffic rules and so they shouldn’t entrust their safety to the assumption that everyone is following them.

      The fool loudly proclaims that they have “arrived” at knowing something, while a wise person will always stay curious!
