  Episode 10: Knowledge vs Wisdom

  Sep 4, 202654 min

  In this episode of Don’t Know, we explore the question of what separates knowledge from wisdom.

This episode invites listeners to consider whether knowing more necessarily makes us wiser—and to reflect on the people, experiences, conversations, and uncertainties that shape not just what we know, but how we become knowers.
