My job as an author is to translate academic research on deep thinking and deep learning into language that\'s accessible to any thoughtful reader.
The sixteen values on the cover of my first book are a few of the many abstract elements that comprise the hypercomplex value \'wisdom.\'
Practical wisdom represents the possibility of applying coherence and morality in action. It’s not a scientific law or divine command – it’s a skill. It’s a way of living, choosing, and relating that helps us flourish together. Practical wisdom isn’t what we know – it’s about how we apply our understandings in each circumstance to produce the best results that we can.
The trick of applying wisdom (or any abstract value) in practice is called philosophical pragmatism. This requires understanding that no abstract term is meaningful if it doesn\'t refer to observable actions (or records of observed phenomena). This means that we can distinguish whether our discourses refer only to what we think, or whether they also refer to what actually happens.
