I know that I personally define wisdom as something "more significant" than
"mere" knowledge.

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a
living; the other helps you make a life.
-- Sandra Carey

As to which I actually talk about, I hope it's wisdom as you say... but I
suspect that much of what I say may be mere knowledge...

(especially given that of late I've sort of redefined half of my terms to
mean something else... I decided that every time I came across two words in
my vocabulary which mean basically the same thing, I would redefine one of
them to mean something different, although usually related. e.g.
"religious" vs "spiritual" -- I call myself the former, but will actively
fight against people of the later persuation. The difference is small to
most, but obvious enough when you sit down to puzzle it out)
