"I stand corrected" said the man with the orthopaedic shoe.

What is wisdom? How do you achieve the levels of wisdom that equate to people gathering in crowds to listen to you talk about anything, with their jaws slumped open in ore?
Are owls really that wise? I've never seen a group of animals gathered around an owl before, this must be a misconception!
I can imagine that there is a lot of pressure on the small population of people possessing genuine wisdom, a pressure to consistently deliver overwhelming amounts of knowledge without breaking a mental sweat.
Do you have to keep topping up your levels of wisdom, or are the amounts you have sufficient to keep the crowds pleased? How do you top your levels of wisdom up? Do you have to blend in with the crowd, maybe wear a fake moustache and listen to other wise men?
Do you receive an official award from a governing body to congratulate you on becoming wise?

The path of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
