Once you do that, the right answer becomes obvious.
The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, it's to post the wrong answer.
An approximate answer to the right question is worth far more than a precise answer to the wrong one.
Far better an approximate answer to the right question, which is often vague, than the exact answer to the wrong question, which can always be made precise.
To be a scientist you have to be willing to live with uncertainty for a long time. Research scientists begin with a question and they take a decade or two to find an answer. Then the answer they get may not even answer the question they thought it would. You have to have a supple enough mind to be open to the possibility that the answer sometimes precedes the question itself.
Blackjack is very scientific. There's always a right answer and a wrong answer. Do you take a card, increase your bet, bet big or bet small. There's absolutely a right and wrong answer.

Wisdom is the ability to read between the lines, listen out for messages that the universe gives us. I've been taught that that is true knowledge and that is completely different to the way we are programmed to learn. We are trained to be able to put the right answer with the right question. We don't really have to know the answer.
If you're going to figure something out, study ethics. You can ask What's the answer? What's Right and Wrong? What I learned is that nobody knows the answer and there is no Right and Wrong. So I'm incapable of becoming a fundamentalist because there are no absolutes, there's always a what if.
