A comment on Conversation: what is Wisdom and can Wisdom be found in DNA?

Apr 26 2011: Wisdom is only in the eye of the beholder - like if a tree in the forest falls, does it make a noise if no one hears it. I believe the definition of "wisdom" is ever changing within our world of cultures. I don't think wisdom is in our genes but based rather in our sense and interpretation of our surroundings. I believe wisdom cannot exist without the exchange of ideas between humans.
