Wisdom acquisition is a moral duty.It's not something you do just to advance in life...You are not going to get very far in life based on what you already know.You're going to advance in life by what you learn after you leave here.
Confucious said that real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.Aristotle and Socrates said the same thing.Is it a skill that can be taught or learned? It probably can, if you have enough of a stake riding on the outcome...
