What’s your wisdom on this thought I’m sharing with my class on Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca?:
Friendly Freethinker 
Wisdom is definitely artificial if the other categories are artificial. What is wisdom in one culture may be nonsense in another.
The only reality is subjective experience.
You may have a valid point, though wisdom is a pursuit of those other things. Though there are claims to knowledge and truth, wisdom is a practice that I don’t see as, in any way, artificial. Then again, many claim to be wise when it seems the opposite of wisdom to claim to have attained it.
As for the “only reality” statement. . .that sounds like solipsism. . .similar to saying that a tree falling in the forest makes no sound if you aren’t there to hear it. Subjectivism to the extreme.
Not solipsism, not my mind but universal, where I am an aperture, a point of view in the whole. I think the idea that we could somehow be separate from it borders on ridiculous. Similar to being somehow separate from the Big Bang —it’s all one thing.
Yes, “point of view” makes more sense than “the only reality” is what I see or experience. Thanks for the comment.
