There’s No Algorithm For Wisdom

Wisdom Pyramid by Chip Conley

There’s No Algorithm For Wisdom. “Who needs wisdom when we have such exquisite algorithms?” A young data scientist asked me this question when I was at Airbnb. I could tell he was half-serious, so I pulled out a pen and paper and drew this pyramid (if you know me well enough, you know I have “pyramid-envy”). While we may live in an era awash in data, information, and knowledge, what we desperately need is understanding, insight, and wisdom. from Wisdom Well, written by Chip Conley

As Chip also says in his inimitable style of making thoughts concise: “Knowledge Speaks, Wisdom Listens”
