Intelligence would seem to be the raw ability to process information; it must be fostered- the proper connections between neurons must be made to form in the early stages of development- but its action is essentially subconscious. Wisdom, while generally acquired through intelligence, consists of learned concepts that are part of a person’s conscious mindset. A person might observe their own mental workings and thereby acquire wisdom, which they use to create mental techniques that further enhance their intelligence, such as a system of mental organization. In this manner, wisdom can appear to be the same as intelligence, and if the learned concepts of wisdom can be made part of a person’s subconscious nature, there is no longer any real reason to differentiate between the two.
