I am in near complete disagreement with you. I do not confuse intelligence and wisdom. Intellect is not something anyone is born with. It is a learned discipline. Wisdom comes through many years and substantial effort involving the application of intellectual discipline.
If you truly believe this, then you are seriously misguided.
A clear illustration of how wrong you are lies in the historical account of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Nobody trained him, taught him or molded him. He simply began listening to other musicians play and he learned it on his own amazing account.
He could write entire symphonies out of thin air, without outer influence and he only wrote them once, without the required proofreading or editing. He could also hear an entire musical piece only once, and then duplicate it perfectly and in it's entirety, find flaws in it and correct it while he was playing it.
His genius was entirely spontaneous as was Einstein.
Well, guess we are going to rehash the old running argument between the genetic crowd and the environmental crowd. It was going on when I was in college back in the late 60’s and the early 70’s and apparently it's still going on? While this is not my field of expertise by any stretch I do find this interesting and thereby read most articles that I come across about the subject. It seems to me that research has been increasingly tilting in favor of genetics and inheritence as the dominate factors in determining a person's traits, both physical and mental. Most articles that I have read recently suggests that's the split between genetics and environmental is about 75/25 +/-%. But, hey, I am a Business major who only took a few psych courses as electives out of curiosity. So, what do I know :)
