Wisdom is fluffy AF, but it is definitely a real thing we all can estimate. Wise men are especially good at recognizing wisdom. This brings us to the following circular reasoning: Wisdom is what wise men see as wise.

**A wise person is one who has high scores in the metrics Aristotle set up in **
Or if you prefer something Christian then a wise man is a man that adheres to the Christian virtues.
