There's always more *knowledge* to be known, due to the constant refining process that humanity takes part in. There will *always* be something new to learn, discover, or create.

A new device to learn how to use.
A new micro-organism to discover.
A new invention to create, a new way to change how we do things.

My question is: is there any new *wisdom* to be discovered? Wisdom being knowledge that doesn't lie in material reality but is rather a universal truth. If the wheel is constantly being reinvented, is wisdom the same? Has all wisdom already been discovered? What are the underlying principles that make up all wisdom?

Wisdom is eternal but foolishness is ever-changing.

The only event in which new wisdom was revealed, was when the eternal Wisdom Himself became incarnate, to show what happens when the eternal Wisdom becomes perfectly joined to the corrupted human nature - a total redemption and resurrection of human nature, through the very disease that disobeying Wisdom brought into created nature, death, since only Wisdom Himself could kill death by his own death. The wedge of sin and death that caused the division between the uncreated, eternal Wisdom, and change-able, foolish, fallen and created human nature has been overcome.

The lineage Wisdom left behind to His apostles, is direct initiation into a continuation of this union, where human nature becomes deified.

Pushing at the boundaries of your understanding and experience - the will to discover- is the ultimate life-affirming action. For every ounce of despair you feel at the present condition of the world, push a pound harder against the tyranny of your expectations!
>Whoever cannot seek
>the unforeseen sees nothing,
>for the known way

-Heraclitus, Fragments
Praise the everlasting question mark, the infinite unknown that keeps us always in motion, forever becoming and never complete!
>Unlike habit, which is carried out in a determinate world, trust is paradoxically exercised in a world of indeterminacy, what James calls the "plastic zone, the transmission belt of the uncertain, the meeting point of the past and the future." It is indeterminacy that makes us need trust, but it is also because we have trust that we take the risk of the indeterminate. The feeling of trust makes experience a field of experimentation. It is therefore the condition for every form of creation.

Funny you posted a picture of Pythagoras.

Study math, even if just casually

Why is that funny? Pythagoreans are one of the most influential schools of philosophy and Plato's biggest influence.

Yes, wisdom is eternal and has been knowable to anyone at any point in space and time. Read Guenon.

We haven't even fully understood the "old" wisdom. Look at Heideggers work for example, his whole philosophy is centered around the idea that we forgot the original greek way of thinking
