Wisdom is knowing how likely it is that you're wrong. When the likelihood is low, you stand firm in your beliefs; when the likelihood is high, you practice humility and try to learn more.

>>50354605
Knowledge without knowledge.

>>50354605
Something you clearly lack if you have to ask what it means.

>>50354605
Actual smartness, not that "knowing useless facts means I'm better than you" crap

That thing that holds me back from infinite cosmic power.

>>50354605
Perception and willpower.

Somehow.

Knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad.

Wisdom is the ability to confront situations with particular aims in mind, as well as the associated ability to contrive efficient means to the realization of those ends.

Decision making skill.

wis·dom
ˈwizdəm
noun
the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise.

In the context of D&D:
Wisdom describes a character's willpower, common sense, awareness, and intuition. It is the main stat for Will saving throws along with Heal, Perception, Profession, Sense Motive, and Survival skill checks.

Wisdom is the most important ability for clerics and druids, and it is also important for monks and rangers.

At its base it's the stat for subconscious pattern recognition, filtering and sensitivity of sensory input, and ability to extrapolate the information from Intelligence towards better outcomes. It is also tied to strength of the sense of self and mental fortitude.

in a nutshell, something like this

knowledge and good judgement from experience

>>50354605
Wisdom in the true realization that you in truth know nothing, own up to it, and seek to actually learning and gaining proper knowledge. It requires objective introspection and in deciding through deliberation what it is you truly wish and desire in life and what the worth of your life is.

tldr: Think for once you moron

>>50354605
Learning from the mistakes of others.

>>50354605
Inductive reasoning, that uses truisms amalgamated from abductive reasoning and known-observed variables to discern elements about the subjective... that are closer to art, than not due to human nature being inherently isolate but seemingly standard.

shit son, wtf are you doing?

Int can be used to create elaborate justification for complexes
Wis isn't needed for happiness
so there is no true checksum against complexes, aka personally "being wrong"

> logic is absolute

We've had this thread enough that it feels weird when anon posts the actual answer

>>50354605
It's how well you see things, so eyes and ears.
It's also how good you are at meditating and praying and shit, so monks and clerics use it. So it's stillness of mind.
It's basically how good you are at paying attention to shit instead of letting your eyes/mind wander. It gets used for a lot of things that require willpower because of that, since your mind is more firm.

It also helps you train animals and perform surgeries for some fucking reason, DnD sucks.

What about the career women with trophy husbands though? I know that's not the norm, but broad sweeping generalizations get me. Im a stay at home father who cooks and cleans for my son and my wife, and I ain't even super attractive.
If you want to call bullshit I won't stop you or argue, I wouldn't believe it on a mongolian shadow puppet website either.

>>50359764
You know what they say, "You snoze you loze".

>Im a stay at home father who cooks and cleans for my son and my wife

hahahahaahah yeah buddy, some "trophy" you are

trolled me, have your (you)

>>50359886
Fair point my post was phrased poorly. I am not an example of a trophy husband, just another example that breaks the generalization.

>>50356470
That's intelligence. An intelligent animal can see the folly of another and learn to not do that thing.

Wisdom is to be able to conceive a folly before one has witnessed such a folly. Thence, the realization of ignorance begins.
