I always thought "wisdom" referred to particular way of thinking regardless of the conclusions you come to. I would have thought referring to the wise thought processes that lead to two different conclusions as "two different wisdoms" would be wrong in the same way referring to two experiments producing different results as "two scientific methods" would be wrong

"there is only one ethical convention in Western civilization?" there's one predominant one

"Why so resistant to avoiding making claims about real life? If it's subjective, it's not a trope" I can think of other trope pages that relay on other subjective value judgements being generally excepted, Like historical villain upgrade for example which assumes most people have the same notion of villainy

"I didn't ignore the question: I can see how that could be read as not trying to describe how things are, but "[m]aking claims about how real life should be (how people should act, how they should feel, and so on...) is way worse...""
But you didn't answer it.
