What is the Dark Side of Wisdom?

What would it be like to live in a Dark Age, devoid of Wisdom? Is there such a thing as too much Wisdom? Too little? Is Wisdom always good? Is there Wisdom in the Shadow? If so, what?

In contrast, what would it be like to live in a perfect Golden Age, where Wisdom is taken for granted the same way as brushing one’s teeth or wiping one’s ass? Would a Golden Age also include Wisdom’s Shadow? What do we even mean by Golden, Age, Dark, or Shadow anyway?

These are the questions bouncing around in my heart. What questions of yours bounce around in response? 🤔
