But if a person is not wise do they even know that they aren't?

Do the unwise care to know anything at all?
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wandering through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no fear or danger
In that bright land
To which I go

Is wisdom not an acquisition of age? Wouldn't the unwise gradually become more wise as a result of experience?

What if all your experience came from sitting on a couch watching TV and smoking weed?

What if your experience came from making the same mistakes over and over again?

Isn't it more fun to try and find a new mistake to make each time?

Would it be wise to lie while in pursuit of the truth?

Wouldn't it depend on whether "it" was legal/safe?

Could "it" have been referring to this?

Am I confused by this turn of events? What exactly the hell is going on here?
