Does wisdom necessarily come with age?

Wisdom and age are no doubt correlated but very imperfectly. Trump is a striking example. What do you suppose stopped him from becoming wiser as he grew older?

Do you think he may have some sort of mental deficit?

Would that mean that the 63 million people who voted for Trump also have a mental deficit?

Doesn't humanity have a long history of voting for lunatics?

Remember Adolph?

Have you read any of Yuval Noah Harari's books yet?

He's an historian and there's no doubt that his knowledge of history gives him great clarity about what's going on today.

Is it possible that I'm unable to read Yuval Noah Harari's books because they teach history?

Did you have terrible history teachers in high school?

Is it odd that I thought so at the time, but now I think they were actually pretty good?
