Yeah knowledge and wisdom are two different things. Obv young people can have knowledge but they can't have wisdom because that comes with experience.

The really neat thing, though, is that just as wisdom arrives, the bloody memory fails, so you forget all that pent-up wisdom-ness....

The morale of the story is "when you are 21 you know NOTHING about ANYTHING...so if your dad tells you to at least get full coverage insurance... do it".


Your OP is very impressive but this sentence is by far the most sensible thing you've written.

If a few others on here can heed this advice you'll have done your bit to help.


i think this sentence is extremely ignorant as a general statement. a personal one maybe but i dont think it has any real depth.

im the last person to claim that i know anything about the world but that doesnt mean when i was 21 i knew nothing.

age is a number not a category of wisdom.

stereotypes are probably to blame, but for every 21 year old that knows nothing about anything i can show a 28+ that thinks they know everything about anything.

Well I'm 37 and I know I'm still learning. I still make mistakes and I learn from them every day.

I've been making mistakes for a long time and I like to think I've learned from them all. Some have taken a long time to get hammered home as I've not learnt properly the first time. Some I haven't properly learnt yet and doubt I ever will.

In comparison to what I know now I knew nothing when I was 21.

This doesn't mean that as a 37 year old I know more than every 21 year old. For example I wouldn't go lecturing Alex Goulder on what to do when he's travelling in Colombia. I know nothing about travelling so to lecture him would be very arrogant. I might offer a few words of caution because I appreciate the way things in general can go wrong a little more but other than that I'd stfu.

When Alex gets to my age though I'm sure he'll look back and realise how he could've done things differently. He won't necessarily regret anything but he'll know that what he learnt whilst there has improved him as a person and increased his knowledge so that as an older man he'd do things differently. He might even offer advice to a few 21 year olds who are thinking of doing the same thing. He'll even say things like "Jeez when I was 21 I knew nothing about travelling. It was brilliant but if I knew what I know now I'd do things so differently".

Trust me when you're young you don't think you'll ever say these things. As you get older though you realise that you do. It just happens.



imo bang on!

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

I'd sooner be a man who knows nothing and has everything to learn than a man who knows everything and has no-one to teach.

When I was in my teens, my parents knew nothing

By the time I got to being in my twenties it was amazing how much they had learned...

I must be the only person going backwards. At 21 I was very sensible and knowledgable, 8 years later I'm a spewing wreck...
