Just as the Dunning-Kruger effect applies to intelligence in specific fields of information I think it can similarly apply to the field of wisdom and philosophical intelligence. A person is showing them self to be lacking in wisdom when they have it all figured out. Only when a person is open and approaches life with a readiness to adapt and learn can they truly acquire wisdom.

Our preferences and opinions arent.what make us whole. You are already whole. It's a disservice to yourself to try to condense yourself down to labels on any level. I do think moral code should be more a feeling and less of a thought. We can over intellectualize ideas by trying to find an answer. I think if we try to figure out how we would react to every scenario, rather than living it and finding out, we do ourselves a disservice and undermine the inner wisedom that will guide us with no thought at all. People leap into action to help people and have no thought at all, only wisedom in motion. Thoughts are important, fun and vital but wisedom will always shine through without effort.
