Yoda was attempting to work against the Sith, unlike Zao who was apparently perfectly content in handing the Sith the galaxy on a silver platter. Like it or not, allowing the dark side to prevail is not in service to the light.
Yoda was in fact working with the Sith. Some wisdom. 🙄
Zao was attuned to the Force and in wisdom he declined to be a general or participate in the war, that gave the Sith the keys.
if you can take off the blinders, Zao was wise and Yoda was not

it is Zao superior wisdom that prevented Zao from making Yoda's mistakes to begin with.

what are these other respects?
zao's wisdom is to listen and act on the willl of the Force. all a wise jedi needs
Found it, although I can see where it's justified so that the child doesn't lose control and start to have their power corrupt them, which could lead them to overtaking their home planet, killing their loved ones and so on.
I mean...it's wrong that they can just take them, but it's not like it's for an unjust cause. Though it seems reading, the Jedi do more or less approach the parents about it and not just take them out of the blue...though it seems they can I guess.
Also reading through this book again, Ahsoka really comes off as a smug little **** to just about everything.
If Yoda was wiser, Anakin would not have fallen.
He also might've spent more effort into finding out what was behind the Clone War, rather than fighting it.
My impression was in terms of actual wisdom, Yoda was supposed to be a bit blind in some areas. Qui-Gon was the one who was able to see through some of the Jedi's flaws.
EmperordmbThe Jedi don't require parental consent to take force sensitive children, which is a part of Republic law.
Mm, there was a story with Windu and a baby taken by the Jedi. The parent hired a bounty hunter- and it turned out, they had brought the kid to the Jedi, then changed their minds, and upon finding this out, Windu returned the kid.
I don't know of any instances where a kid was taken despite parental request.
Heck, there's times when a kid was trained and stayed with thair family too, like Xanatos.
