Knowlege or wisdom
which is most important?
Firstly lets have a look at my definitions for knowlege and wisdom
Knowlege: Information that your brain has assimilated
Wisdom: The ability to use knowlege no matter how little and to apply that knowlege in life to either further your own or others goals.
Obviously we cannot have wisdom without some form of knowlege, so its not a straight trade off. This is more what you think is the most valuable to us
Apparently not many people care too much about either. Only two people voted!!

I’d argue the distinction is moot. If one accepts the idea of the unity of understanding and action, then it follows that both ideas collapse into one. After all, if I “know” something but cannot “do” it, I would argue that I do not, in fact “know” this thing, I just believe that I do and am mistaken in that belief.

knowledge is being able to solve problems
wisdom is not having to solve problems

It’s sorta like asking if you want a bike without tires, or tires without a bike.

I agree with Murex and Xunzian.
