The Paradox of Choice and the Loss of Wisdom

In times of crises like this, wisdom is desperately needed by most of the people, if not all. But unfortunately, wisdom is often ignored as foolishness. In today's world, knowledge and intelligence is not sufficient enough to survive in this cruelty ruthlessness world. Whether we are working or learning, we ought to not abandon wisdom. Because without wisdom, you will make dumb and foolish decisions, and it will certainly do more harms than good. As Barry Schwartz said, "rules and procedures maybe dumb, but they spare you from thinking." Therefore, think more and be wise! In the long run, wisdom will prevail.
