How do you define Wisdom?
This is the topic of a new $2 million research program sponsored by the Arete Initiative at the University of Chicago called Defining Wisdom. They are offering up to 20 research grants to scholars who have received their Ph.D.s within the last ten years ('cause those are all the smart people, dontcha know), for scholarly and scientific approaches to empirically defining wisdom.
Letters of intent to apply must be received by November 19. Go to the website or write to wisdom@uchicago.edu for more information.
(I'm not applying, no. I don't have a Ph.D. But I thought some of my readers might qualify or know people who do. Anyway, it's interesting. So pass the word.)

One the one hand...
On the other hand, I think I'll just sit back and watch them produce yet another piece of research that will be snapped up by the self-help gurus, and largely ignored by the majority of the population.
Apparently today is my bitchy cynic day!
