1. What percentage of people know the name we gave our own species?
2. Whatever the guess, (I googled it, no relevant results) that seems too low. Why is it so low?
3. Given that estimate, what percentage of Homo Sapiens Sapiens know that means, "Wise Wise Man" in Latin?
4. What percentage care?
5. What percentage are what you'd call, "Wise"
6. What percentage of them are what you'd call, Wise, Wise Humans?
7. Can you provide an example?
8. Or at least what made them wise?
9. Do you have some real Words of Wisdom from those wise humans?
10. Can you reveal it to me?

Lower than 50%

I think we're devolving as AI evolves and we teach it to take over our roles.

Less than 5%

> 4. What percentage care?

5%

> 5. What percentage are what you'd call, "Wise"

< 1%

> 6. What percentage of them are what you'd call,
> Wise, Wise Humans?

< 0.01%


> 7. Can you provide an example?

A long list, starting with Confuscious, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Socrates, Democritus, Epicurus, Aurelius, Spinozza, Jefferson, Franklin, Thoreau, Emerson, Whitman, Einstein, Dalai Lama, Ayan Hirsi Ali, Jane Goddal, Malala, Tyson, Michio Kaku and Sam Harris.

> 8. Or at least what made them wise?

Being courageous people with empathy for others.

Not buying into the idea that just being named a Wise Wise Man, does not necessarily make you wise, much less, a Wise Wise Man.

Volumes.

> 10. Can you reveal it to me?

Yes, but Google any one of the names I gave you and you will find whole libraries of books about them by them, their lives, their philosophy, world view, humanity, empathy, compassion, geniuus.
