Knowledge without practical application is nothing but a mere intellectual decoration. The tragedy of this AI-driven world is not ignorance; it is paralysis through endless consumption. Furthermore, I believe, there is a difference between information and knowledge. The constant bombardment of information, many mis/disinformation, is resulting in nothing but shallow progress. Knowledge does give one a confidence, but this confidence is not beneficial. Until or unless, one get to make a profit out of it - for oneself and community. This practicality is only possible through wisdom.
And, I believe this is the reason behind all those social medias absurd reel content creator. Public, nowadays, is looking for mere entertainment. Reels contain no amount of intellectual reasoning, just weird nakedness, racist comments, hating on each other for no reasoning at all, etc.
In the end, Bruce Lee fits well in this situation: "I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times". Applying one prinicple rather than consuming endlessly.
