hey would be great to have a catalogue of videos showing wise people to develop a deeper sense of what wisdom is.

iain mcgilchrist is pretty wise i would say. 

One thing that i have noticed about wise people is that they value wisdom a lot. it is pretty simple yet rare. a general rule to know if someone is wise or not, ask yourself the question does he value wisdom, and the way you know if he values wisdom is simply if he brings up the topic of wisdom often.
