Maetis Principles · Card 1
Wisdom over Knowledge
Knowledge tells people what. Wisdom helps people decide. Maetis exists to produce wiser financial decisions, not simply more informed learners.
In Practice
Two people read the same quarterly report. One recites the profit number. The other asks what it changes about tomorrow's decision — that's the one who actually used it.
Generic Example
A friend can quote every rule of a diet plan and still not eat well. Another barely remembers the rules but eats well anyway, because they understand why.
The last time I "learned" something about money, what decision did it actually change?
