How do you define wisdom? What choices are wise and which ones aren't?

Harari seems to be worried that sometime in the future there will be tons of superfluous people that economy will no longer need. Suppose technology brings about abundance never before seen on the planet Earth. Suppose that means the vast majority of everyone goes unemployed. Are we to worry that most of those people will necessarily be poor now because the few powerful up top will hoard all the riches? Is that the most likely scenario?

I checked out Mandarin the other day. Just a little syntax. From what little I saw, the syntax does seem to be more elegant than that of Western ones(the ones I know), but it still is a far cry from Scheme level elegance :)

What about Lisps? Also, it would be interesting to read about comparisons between programming languages and naturals ones. What's the most elegant natural language in the world that could be said to be the Scheme of natural languages?
