Is Unchanging Wisdom Egoic

[Joseph Maynor]

This is the kind of ideology that we're very accustomed to.  This is Science, Metaphysics, Philosophy, Religion.  This is the seeking for unchanging wisdom, or beliefs that are context-independent -- true across space and time.

@Joseph Maynor Definitely. Unchanging wisdom is never true wisdom. True wisdom is always complicated and quite dynamic when put in words. Static truths and wisdoms remind me of religions. 

And plus, you need to take into account the nature of language. It’s very rare to phrase a truth so easily, because the words you use to explain them are themselves very inaccurate.

@Joseph Maynor  Is there really any changeless wisdom, except within some dogmatic ideologue mindset. The scientific paradigm constantly evolves and changes. After all, once the earth was the center of the cosmos, and heretics were burned at the stake for denying this.  And it will evolve yet again, if the primacy of consciousness usurps materialism. Metaphysics and philosophy, inherently speculative, are no exception. Even religions, with their endless sects and denominations, have changed dramatically from what was originally intended and  taught -- now greatly distorted, and misinterpreted. Really, all such models and maps are only ever going to be, at best, true enough under the circumstances.

@Joseph Maynor Any unchanging wisdom is a path. You can look at your feet, or you can look at the trees. The first will guide, the other will amaze.
