SUMMARY:Sound Judgment in an Age of Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Can wisdom be cultivated?  \nWe recognise it when we see it: an elder’s timely advice\, a leader’s restraint\, a friend who asks the right question at the right moment. But knowing wisdom is not the same as knowing how to become wise. \nCognitive scientist Igor Grossmann argues that wisdom has two engines: cultural tools\, such as proverbs\, stories\, and role models\, that are transmitted across generations and learned over time\, and the mental faculties behind sound judgement\, which sharpen our use of cultural tools. The first one reminds us that no one becomes wise alone. This latter engine runs on self-distance: the ability to step back from our own thinking\, sit with what you do not know\, and hold competing perspectives before acting \nWisdom is after all\, a practice. Not merely a result of age or experience. \nThe talk will then open to the audience for questions. \n
