The Mathematical Significance of Wisdom Over Time
My oldest daughter Maya turned 15 yesterday, Aug 21, 2022. I took some time and went to see her at the end of her special day. Amongst other things, we were discussing wisdom, and how we mature over time. Indeed, a natural process for all of us. I was telling Maya that as she grows older, she will learn things. She will learn things in school, and she will learn things in life. Perhaps more in life than in school. Then we caught ourselves discussing a more numerical type of analysis (Maya has always been amazing with numbers). We realized that, when she was at her year zero (of course, this is a figure of speech) I was 30. She was a baby whom only knew how to cry for food while I knew a little bit about life and things. Now she is 15, she knows a little bit more than what she knew when she was 0, or 5, or 10. I'm 45, I also know a little bit more than what I knew when I was 30 (or 0, or 5, or 10). We decided to graph the data, looking into the "wisdom rate of growth" over...
