Owner's Name: Amirynth Participating Soquili: Dayunsi
Link to Teepee: [x]
What do you feel the difference between intelligence and wisdom is?: Dayunsi thought for a long moment as his wings fluttered slightly. "Intelligence is the knowledge of things. Such as knowledge of herbs and plants, their properties and dangers. Wisdom is more about the knowledge of how to use said knowledge. You need both, they are equally important as it would not be useful to know where the leaves of the holly grows and that it can be used to reduce the pain when healing a broken bone if, when the time comes, you do not have the wisdom to remind yourself that it would be useful when you are faced with healing a broken bone. In short, wisdom is more common sense while intelligence is knowing facts."
In your own words explain what you think it means to be intelligent: "Like I mentioned before, intelligence is the knowing of facts." The small stallion chuckled lightly, "It is something I try to strengthen every day and pass it on to my young pupils."
How much wood could a woodchuck cut if a woodchuck wielded an ax?: Dayunsi blinked a few times as he tried to work out what the question was. "Well, I don't really know. Is it a rather persistent woodchuck perhaps?" Wrinkling his nose, the flutter stallion paused carefully. "I would have to say an axe gives a woodchuck an advantage over one without so maybe he could cut double the amount of wood if he had one? I know the two-leggers use them often enough for that."

What do you feel the difference between intelligence and wisdom is?: “Ah, um. Let me think a minute… I suppose… I suppose it’s things you’ve learned as opposed to things that come intuitively? Like knowing a bee will sting you because you’ve been stung before, that’s intelligence, that's learned. But both are equally important.”
In your own words explain what you think it means to be intelligent: “To be willing to learn, from past mistakes, from those wiser, from experiences that life offers, and to be attentive and remember the things you’ve experienced. Not to make the same foolish mistake over and over and over and insist that you’re doing nothing wrong, that would be the opposite of intelligent.”
How much wood could a woodchuck cut if a woodchuck wielded an ax?: “Now there’s a scary thought! I expect he’d cut as much as he wanted to, at least over time. I… I have no idea how much that might be though. Maybe enough to build a nice woodchuck-sized home? It could take a while, I expect the ax would need to be tiny. But persistence often pays off.”

Owner's Name: Kitsune Mistress Nyoko Participating Soquili: Azure Link to Teepee: [x]
What do you feel the difference between intelligence and wisdom is?: Well, I guess I'd say... Intelligence comes with lots and lots of study, but wisdom comes with age! You can be intelligent but unwise, just like you can be unintelligent and the wisest Soquili ever! It really all depends on which you think is more important, studying the whys and hows or living them. Personally I'd much rather live them! All that studying gets so boring!
In your own words explain what you think it means to be intelligent: Well, being intelligent just means you know things! They might be things everyone knows, like the sky is blue and the grass is green, or they might be things not everyone knows like why things are the way they are. Don't tell anyone, but I'm really not as smart as everyone seems to think I am! Sure, I know things. But I don't really know things that everyone seems to think I should.
How much wood could a woodchuck cut if a woodchuck wielded an ax?: Oh I don't know, why would a woodchuck be cutting wood in the first place? Does he need to build a fire or something? Can't he just gather twigs for that? If you ask me, it seems very silly that he'd be cutting a bunch of wood for no reason! Maybe even sillier than I am.

Owner's Name: Bardess Ookami Participating Soquili: Inoshishioni Link to Teepee: Home sweet home.
What do you feel the difference between intelligence and wisdom is?:
Inoshishioni sat back and reflected upon the question. Intelligence and Wisdom. It was a fascinating preponderance, actually. There were several differences, but he wondered if perhaps they were such that no two people, or more likely few people, saw the same divisions. Where he drew the lines? Well, he figured that intelligence probably referred to the capacity to retain things you learned from external sources. It isn't the knowledge of anything, but rather your ability to learn it. Wisdom, on the other hoof, he saw as the thought process where one reflected and learned from thoughts and from discourse. Wisdom came from debate, either with oneself or with another. You needed to be able to learn, to have wisdom, so intelligence was a prerequisite for wisdom. He did not think that any could be wise without having at least a bare minimum of intelligence, but he was open to the possibility. Was not the point of every day to learn?
In your own words explain what you think it means to be intelligent:
He wondered how that differed from the previous question, save that it focused on one over the other. He supposed that to be intelligent, that it meant one could absorb more and more information, and could repeat it back.
How much wood could a woodchuck cut if a woodchuck wielded an ax?:
Now, some might wonder why a woodchuck would wield an axe. Now, Inoshishi might be one of those, just because it could be interesting to conjecture, however, he was used to dealing in hypothetical. As such, he took the question at face value. So, how much wood could a woodchuck cut if a woodchuck wielded and axe? The logical approach would require more information. What size and age woodchuck? Ho large is the axe? What is he or she using for leverage? Is the wood still in the form of trees, or has it been chopped down already, allowing for a different angle of attack? Is the bark still on it? At that, what sort of wood is it? A soft wood, a hard wood? However, looking at it from a philosophical angle, he supposed it hinged on why a woodchuck might wish to attack wood with an axe. After all, motivation could be the largest driving force. Well, then again, there was the smart alec point of view to consider. After all, everyone knew that woodchucks didn't cut wood, they cut classes. "Thank you, I'll be here all week."

Owner's Name: Phail Ninja Participating Soquili: Casper Link to Teepee: [x]
What do you feel the difference between intelligence and wisdom is?: Casper paused, giving the questioner a cold look. "Well, intelligence would be the ability to gather information, whereas wisdom would mean having a wealth of experience and knowledge, and using it with good judgement. Someone could be intelligent, but not wise. I think in order to be wise, you'd have to have some degree of intelligence, however. Happy?"
In your own words explain what you think it means to be intelligent: Not bothering to hide his disdainful snort, the stallion turned his head away. "Didn't I just answer that? Do you have ears? Clearly this intelligence is something you lack if you do not possess the ability to recall the definition I gave not two seconds ago."
How much wood could a woodchuck cut if a woodchuck wielded an ax?: Looking almost angry, the stallion turned his back to the questioner. "You make a mockery of me. How would a woodchuck ever be able to pick up and use an axe? Honestly, people these days."
