Gloominary,
Well, I do not know about you but I am able to think in terms of whittling something down as a form of destruction. Technically speaking, this is NOT nihilism but are you able to see letting go and detaching as being positively and realistically lol nihilistic in nature?
I can see that too. But is there not more than one word to describe how we interpret something?
Minimalism is the intentional promotion of the things we most value and the removal of everything that distracts us from it.
Realistic nihilism? lol
That would certainly depend on the individual. Do you see many adult WEs living their lives in that way? 
It is a process.
All? I doubt that. But I do think that we can learn that, step by step, in moments of awareness. But the seeing does not always do the trick. We are half asleep.
What do YOU mean by general knowledge before I try to respond to you here?
As for the first part, why do you think that is, aside from wisdom being about important things?
Intelligence and wisdom ~~ do they not kind of go together? Intelligence is the seeing and gathering in of information and utilizing it. What would wisdom be? Utilizing it
toward the greatest positive advantage for one and/or all?
Hmmm…something about that just does not quite ring true to me.
Human beings are complicated creatures. We are not simple. There is much hidden from us. We are like what is below the iceberg lol. Our psyches themselves are like unexplored space and dark matter.
We grow, we evolve, our lives change in different ways (hopefully) so how can you say that?
Isn’t Life spectacular? There IS a panoramic view there but much of the space which we see is what we see before we exist the tunnel.
We really do have to wake up, do we not?
This is where intelligence and wisdom walk hand in hand, I think.
Balance is beautiful. I suppose that it is okay though to lean a bit far this way or that sometimes. Then we really learn about balance.
Do you think this position for a count of _____, once a day, can embed a sense of all-around balance into our brains and lives?

Do you mean to say that they value these things?
That is a learned pattern. What would you say to these people to wake them up?
Balance again. What would you tell them to do here?
I think that I can see that as happening. Why do you think some people have this mindset? What creates it in them?
But how do we learn to intuit and to balance what are our actual limits and at the same time allow ourselves to be a kind of limitlessness?
Hmmm…I am not so sure about that. I may be wrong here, but wouldn’t that depend on the individual and the circumstances?
For example, if someone has a tendency toward laziness and apathy, it might be a good thing in this case to do for doing’s sake…to just plow through that and do what has to be done. It’s a process and a learning experience. Once has to start somewhere, no?
Even the most interested and energetic people at times get a bit lazy and apathetic. Would you tell them “Well, if you do not want to do it, do not do it”. What if it is something which really needs to be done? Responsibility pawns another day.
Do you mean where there is no consciousness of thought or intention wastefulness and evil (strong word there) can occur?
As for the first, I can agree with you. I sometimes would like to get blood out of a stone. 
As for the last, this is true too. Sometimes letting go allows the brain some space to bask in the Sun so to speak and then another seed sprouts up and may be nourished.
Behold my stream of consciousness. I could have expressed that much better.
Can you tell me why you have that username? I am able to see gloominary in a certain way. I do not know what way you see it.
