Another failure to understand intellect from wisdom
post
A clever fellow has a telescope. He sees what everyone else sees, but clearer and sooner.
A smart fellow has a microscope. He can see things no one else sees.
A wise man has a mirror.
Is Plato really dead?
Plato is still alive, but it's no longer considered a planet.

No, silly, plato means dish in Spanish.
Not as long as you can see his shadow
Cloak of Wisdom: βShouldβve got the Cloak of Knowledge.β
Cloak of Knowledge: "Should've got the Cloak of Understanding"
End result is him walking into the next test with fifty cloaks on.
Poor planning. Should have tried the cape on in advanced, it would have told him to study when there was still time.
But that would require the wisdom of forethought in the first place.
Or just curiosity
But then again, curiosity and wisdom often come as a package
Typical brothers, gives you his cloak of wisdom instead of his cloak of knowledge. Never again Dave, that broke the centuries of trust we had built.
Dave's not here, man!
Before exam - Scumbag Brain: Bro I got you, come on let's go grab a drink!
During exam - Scumbag Brain: Dude they totally didn't cover any of this shit.
After Exam - Scumbag Brain: Oh hey buddy, you know all those answers you were looking for, here you go! Wow dude, you fucked up MAJOR.
Is it exceedingly uncommon to just read the material, not study beyond that, and still test well?
Math and physics (or any subject that requires calculation) usually requires practice. Applying the knowledge in a short timeframe is different skillset then just having the knowledge.
Not everyone learns the same way. Some people require tedious study to get the information to stick, while others can grasp the concepts and retain information when first presented.
The valedictorian of my high school class was one of the dumbest people I've ever met, but she spent an inordinate amount of time studying so she could regurgitate it on a test without actually understanding any of it.
It depends on the subject and the style of the test, imo. If it's conceptual, then yeah that's probably enough. If there's problems to be worked out, then it helps to some practice problems imo.
A cloak of knowledge would've been useful. Or if they are practical problems on the test, a cloak of intelligence.
But considering this guy isn't smart, he probably thought wisdom and intelligence are interchangeable. XD
I feel like the cloak would also let you see patterns how like most multiple choice questions involve two similar answers, one very wrong one, and one that would be correct if you do a single thing wrong.
Or help you do the kind of bullshitting that written response tests generally require. You know, without actual subject knowledge
