Or at least, what it thinks is knowledge. Medical history is littered with practices that maimed patients for no gain. We have frequently believed the wrong thing and to think that we no longer do is insanity. I frequently think about what procedures we do currently that will one day be considered evil (balloon angioplasty, maybe). There's a lot of dogma and perverse incentives in science. But maybe that just speaks to the wisdom part.

And I hope I don't come off as anti-science. I believe the scientific method is our best chance at understanding the world we're in.

Also that the distilled knowledge and power of science and technology can be passed on through time and over distance in fairly simple writing, it grows and progresses with each human generation. But wisdom can only be gained through empathy and personal experience, it's effectively reset in every human being and cannot be passed on or learned through simple writing.
