What does this mean the saddest aspect in life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom?
Wisdom is having the knowledge to use knowledge correctly. But when we discover and invent different things through science we usually use it to destroy rather than create or help. For example when nuclear fission was discovered it was first used to create nuclear weapons that kills people. The thought of making nuclear plants came years later.
