On this week, Dr. Gbadgesin lectured on the distinctions between wisdom, knowledge, intellect and philosophy, and how those distinctions impact various fields of study such as Communications, Fine Arts, Natural and Social Sciences, ect. He taught that most students have learned to believe that there is no reason to study black or African culture because of implcations that Africans have no real history. Dr. G believes that is the case because there are very few people who are willing to look up or research things that are told to them. Instead, many of our youth find it easier to take things at face value and believe whatever is told to them. The instructor willed for us to transform- or to challenege this way of thinking as wise people do. What determines someone who is wise and someone who has knowledge or intellect is whether or not the individual is a philosopher. Philosophers do not take things at face value alone, instead, they go deeper into the realm of the subject at hand.

Dr. Gbadgesin went on to say that wisdom and good character were very important to ancient Egyptian civilization. In fact, many Egyptian symbols of morale and wisdom (such as Ma'at and Ptahhotep) were formed before many European greats were constructed. (Plato, Socrates, ect.) Iwa, Orunmila's spouse, was an example of Egyptian virtue. In fact, when he got into a domestic argument with his wife, Orunmila had to search after Iwa desperately because his entire life had fallen to seams with Iwa not around. To conclude his lecture, Dr. Gbadgesin challenged the class to be "dew drops", which provided clear-sightedness in a chaotic situation with a calming spirit and state of mind.
