Thanks for this. You're not alone in the uncertainty. The wisdom, I believe, is the sitting in the grey. It's understanding that everything is grey, that the far ends of any spectrum are conceptual at best. Expertise is knowing; wisdom is not knowing.

Thank you for sharing Sean. It's good to know that others are in this uncertainty too. Your last sentence makes me think of the paradox of knowledge: the more we learn, the less we know.

Gray area. Gray matter

And Google says that

Gray matter enables complex functions like thinking, learning, and interacting with the world.

That's an interesting connection! Learning to navigate the gray often means questioning our internal narratives, which leads to new pathways being created.

You got me wondering why it's called gray matter now!
