Wisdom Scales Better Than Intelligence

The more intelligence becomes abundant, the more valuable wisdom becomes. This article positions Salars.net on the right side of history.

Quick Answer

For search, voice, and "just tell me what to do".

Why AI Makes Judgment the Scarce Resource.

Key Takeaways:

  • Intelligence Inflation: IQ is cheap. Wisdom is expensive.
  • The 'What' vs. The 'Why': AI answers 'How'. Humans answer 'Why'.
  • Long-termism: Wisdom is just intelligence integrated over time.

In-Depth Analysis

The Cheapening of Smarts

It used to be hard to write a sonnet, code a website, or solve a math problem. Now it costs $0.001. "Smart" is now a commodity. When a resource becomes abundant, its value drops to zero.

The Rise of Wisdom

If everyone is smart, who wins? The Wise.

  • Smart: Knowing how to build a nuclear bomb.
  • Wise: Knowing not to use it.

Your New Job

Your job is no longer to be the "Smartest Person in the Room." Your job is to be the "Wisest Person in the Room." Let the AI be the smart one. You be the adult.

Common Pitfalls

  • Confusing Data with Truth: Data is just history. Truth often contradicts history.
  • The 'Smart' Trap: Doing things just because they are complex.
  • Short-term Optimization: Winning the battle, losing the war.
