The idea
Wisdom, expert knowledge of life's pragmatics, is predicted only marginally by age, entry 1830, and expertise comes from deliberate practice and experience, entries 1824 and 2138.
In practice
An older chess expert considering fewer moves yet choosing better ones, entry 1824.
Where people slip
The misconception is that wisdom comes automatically with age, entry 2135; openness and learning from experience matter more.
