In a Socratic way, as in they know that they don't know anything?

Wiser than what?

You obviously weren't raised in NYC and can't see the difference.

This.

Definitely not. But I think there are a lot of parents out there who believe they are!

No absolutely not.

This. I've known very street smart kids from Flushing and the city and very coddled and sheltered kids from Great Neck or Scarsdale. There are kids in Jersey and LI who grow up 20 miles outside of the city and never go there.

Not the kids from the suburbs. They are the worst kind of unwise, thinking that they have seen it all, when in fact their lives are hilariously sheltered.

What an absurdly ambiguous question. Wise in what way? Upper Manhattan wise, Long Island wise, or OG Bushwick wise?

Why would we be?

Do you think kids who grew up in the tristate are wiser?
