I contend that there is a difference between wisdom, ethics and morality - even though the article appears to conflate the three.

For instance, ethics and morality can be completely at odds with each other, but perhaps wisdom is the thing that bridges the two.

The question at hand though, are humans born to be wise? Maybe. If wisdom is synonymous with survival perhaps.

The article seems to highlight only those things that promote survival of groups (and individuals in those groups).

Is that really wisdom?

Don't know.
