Are You Intelligent, Wise, or Philosophical?

Good Morning.

“Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Philosophy is asking why a fruit becomes a vegetable the moment it hits the dinner table.”
Inspired by Miles Kington

This quote works because it highlights three different ways we make sense of the world, even if we don’t always think about them separately.

There’s the part of us that gathers information. The facts, the tasks, the pieces of life we can explain. That’s intelligence. It keeps things organized and helps us move through the day.

Then there’s the part that understands when something fits and when it doesn’t. It knows when to speak up, when to wait, and when to let something pass. That’s wisdom. It grows through experience and the moments when life asks us to learn as we go.

And then there’s the part that steps back and looks at things from a wider angle. Why do we categorize the world the way we do. Which beliefs are shaping our choices. What patterns are influencing us without our awareness. That’s where philosophy comes in. It’s less about finding the answer and more about rethinking the way we’ve been seeing things.

We move between these modes every day, often without noticing. And the last one has a way of changing how everything else fits together.

A different question, asked at the right moment, can show us more than any answer we already had.
