Data is raw information we obtain around us. Example, you read on your computer screen 25.

Information is processed data. The 25 read, combined with other data, tells you 25Mb available.

Knowledge what that information means in the grand scheme of things, a metacontext. The 25Mb available means that you have 25Mb of space you can use on the computer.

Wisdom is what you do with that knowledge. You have 25Mb, so it means it's a good idea to install a minimal program, rather than the full.

The amount of data you rescieve is a measure of your oppurtunity.

The percentage of data you convert into information is measure of your experience.

The percentage of knowledge you derive from information is measure of your intelligence.

The percentage of appropriate decisions you make using your knowledge is a measure of your wisdom.


Say in one day you recieve 1000 units of data. That is your oppurtunity.

From that data, you convert 500 units into information. Your experience is then 50%.

From the information you derive 100 units of knowledge. Your intelligence is now read as 20%.

Of those 100 units of knowledge you make 75 good choices. Your wisdom is expressable as 75%.

From 1000 units of data you recieve, only 75 wise decisions are made, yet you are still 75% wise. Think about it.


What do you all think?

Not looking at the rest I disagree with these statements as I see these two collide:

How about those with a lot of experience but little knowledge?

How about those with a lot of knowledge but little experience?

How about combined intelligence from both or two separate things?

How about if someone's knowledge was in fragments and not percentage?

Answering these correctly may convince me.

This is the kind of thing that reminds me of this:

Is that for me?

I didn't say anything about philosophy. I was just ponting out that to me the statements which I quoted collided with the first two questions. It is something that I didn't make up and I don't know it all.

Prodian, never ever attempt to out-bullshit DS, he can make your head explode at will.
DS, don't get offended over bickering that's not even aimed at you. Although what AdamM brought up has little to do with the subject of this topic, it has more to do with the nature of it, as both of them are kind of pointless.

Oh good but I didn't know which person before.
I am not offended by the 1st post.

Except, out bullshit?

Are you saying that my questions to those quotes are bullshit?

...followed by a Gobbley bullshit response.

Kyro: I don't make people's heads explode. They do it at their own will.
Similar to people who say I am talking bullshit.
If that is true then you must be as well intervening in this thread except I never intended my response to be looked upon as that.

I thought bulls poo was less pollutant than factory pollutants. I don't write at the backside of a bulls bum unless you did and I don't think it has anything to do with this too otherwise state.

Which brings us back to why smoking various plants is such a bad thing...

I rather save what's remaining of my health than to smoke it out in a couple of months or years.

With BS I actually meant that you have the ability to seriously confuse people if you want to, but then again, nevermind.

The ability to confuse people if I want to? Why would I want to do that? Maybe with a joke but this is no joke. I don't intend to confuse people otherwise I wouldn't have given out the punchline in video thread.
