We growing wiser, or are we just growing tall?
Intelligence is the ability to understand and predict things.
Wisdom is the tendency to make decisions that turn out well.
I figure by that definition knowledge, conditioned responses, muscle memory, perspective, commitment to certain values, beliefs, it’s all part of wisdom.
I always heard it as "intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad."
