@Del i can predict that my response will be that you and i will also probably have to agree to disagree.

1. The Dictionary 2-10. The biographies of the many noteworthy people i have read over the years. Up until recently, i have been an avid reader all of my life, and i couldn't begin to narrow down the titles of all the fiction books i've read. If i finished them, then they impressed me. The dictionary has always been my enabler. Every word definition is a story unto itself.

But you can give an illiterate person information and facts by simply telling it to them. Not being able to read doesn't render a person deaf and mute. Once you tell them something, their innate intelligence will determine whether they will subsequently comprehend what they have been told. Slaves couldn't read or write but that didn't interfere with them comprehending things. Griots are prime examples of oral communication. They were fonts of information who verbalized the history of their people. Awareness and knowledge are the same thing, as are comprehension and understanding. You are confusing knowledge with wisdom. Wisdom has to do with whether you wisely apply what you have comprehended in the course of living your life.

Wait, @Pioneer1 did you just throw a gratuitous "bigger penis" in there just for kicks? What environment would a big penis not come in handy? (oh God, I know the nasty-gram from Google is on it way now... we used the word "penis" on a page with their ads,... hey did anyone hear that? That was my search engine ranking hitting the floor).
