Good writing. It is easy to critique collective ideas and behavior. As you write, humility is essential. Whatever wisdom and knowledge is or represents it begins in a human person who reflects on what reality may be. It is our being in an act of self-reference. It isn't out there somewhere in the world or culture. Those ideas whether called science, religion, politics etc. are frozen in time. There are working principles that could move to a truth. I could suggest: it seems that reality is a whole. I mean, where is the outside or inside of reality. Is there an outside to the universe?
Another one: each of us can learn voluntarily to be in sync with the way it is, whether it is called the Tao, God and others. No one can be forced or compelled to wisdom. This is related to power over a person. This leads to the idea of non-violence. Violence doesn't lead to the good.
