Wisdom is gained through applied problemsolving - exposure to real constraints.

Developmental Implications

Sternberg’s work complements developmental frameworks (e.g., Perry; Kitchener–King):

• Analytical intelligence can mature early.
• Practical and wise judgment develop through:
  • Exposure to real constraints.
  • Failure, feedback, and institutional navigation.
  • Moral responsibility for consequences.
• High-performing adults show adaptive expertise: flexible transfer of skills across contexts.

OSE Case

We develop practical and wise judgment by exposure to real constraints: building a village, such as Civilization 100 on 30 acres of land. This happens as part of the Future Builders Academy.

The constraints are resources, finances, materials, energy, knowhow.

This stacks skill-building incentives with acquisition of wisdom.

This process should inject wisdom to raw power (production, creation) - via feedback, failure, collaboration.

Moral intelligence grows from system feedback and evaluation: are we thriving? What are the consequences of our work? Are we open to new learning?

Hence, the critical element of the OSE experiment are: Supercooperators with a growth mindset - or openness to learning. Via epistemic humility.
