5. On acquiring wisdom

I believe that a ton of wisdom can be generated from the colossal amount of information that we are now ingesting . I believe such wisdom can come about through interactions, but I believe it is generated more efficiently while pondering by one's self: I think that nothing will ever make more sense to me than the conclusions I come to myself.

I personally ponder best while taking long baths, in the dark, wearing noise canceling headphones. It is as if my senses are all toned down, yet without making me feel sleepy, as long as the water is not too hot, essentially allowing easier focus on my thoughts.

Most insights I've had over the past few years have come from these. I've tried more standard forms of meditation, but none of them have ever worked out for me quite as much.
