I have in life that the age of Metuseller is not equivalent to the wisdom of Solomon.
The average brain is said to have roughly 100 billion neurons. Each neuron can have up to as many as 7000 synapses but it seems some do not give a shit about implication of that fact.
Its seems everyone has returned to their tent (oh Israel) and careless about the fact that the electrical activity in your dome has enough wattage to energize a small LED light bulb.
Through out the course of life - alcohol, drugs, stress, head trauma and you name it somehow is putting a limit/veil on how well our brain functions.
The more we either conscious or otherwise dim the light the more difficult it is for us to access certain areas of the brain in order to formulate a complete thought.
For instance in Africa many would assume that being a professor is the crown of it all in terms of acquisition of wisdom and knowledge especially when the professor has grey hairs.
Every one seem to see him or her as the Don of knowledge.
The irony of this assumption is the bitter reality.
In reality one cannot be Don in knowledge as knowledge herself is dynamic.
Literally speaking you cannot be a professor in physics or chemistry as it were, you however can specialise and become a professor in a branch of physics or chemistry.
And the more you narrow down the more you do not know.
