Knowledge can be ledged on paper, but can wisdom be? Or does wisdom require a strength of mind to behold?

I have no way to put the answer into print for you to read it.

wisdom is the ability to discern what knowledge is and isnt valuable

How can you know something that you don't already know?
Consider some very profound statement of any length. If you had arrived at that same statement by bruteforcing all sentences of that length, would it still be so profound?
Consider also a language that has no syntax. One example would be some modified Gödel numbering scheme for encoding the message. So you have every sentence as a number. The commonalities between each would be shared factors among them.
Are you discovering new knowledge if you add another factor to the string that was never added before?

there's good knowledge and bad knowledge, but there is no bad wisdom.

Lets take knowledge in the classic formulation of being Justified True Belief. Propositions on paper that meet these JTB requirements tick the box of being knowledge and can be read and adopted. They dont require an emotional disposition. I think this is the key to Wisdom. Its more than JTB. Its sort of a proposition that is grasped beyond the intellectual level.

I have a friend. Hes always asking me for advice. I tell him the advice I think he needs to hear, but he always says it sounds like a cliche. Theres a bit in Infinite Jest that talks about this. A guy in AA is getting what sound like cliches from the old guys. And they tell him "You wont get it until you do. Fake it till you make it." Which is in itself a cliche. But the knowledge is being aware of the cliche. The wisdom is the grasping, embodiement, understanding of the cliche. You wont understand it till you do. Fake it till you make it.

What makes a belief justified and true? This just sounds like a belief you believe that you believe.

Yeah, welcome to 20th century epistemology. What justification and truth is is hotly debated. Id go for correspondence for truth, that the statement "x" is true iff x is the case in the world.

Justification is even fuzzier. Its like having warrant or licence or a reason for thinking that the knowledge is true. Without justification, True Belief can just be a good guess. Like if I just put together some ideas and said Ewoks were behind the the great depression, and that happened to be the case, many people would object to calling that knowledge, as I've just put together random ideas with no justification.

But then the issue of Gettier Problems rears its head. Imagine you're driving past a field and you see a sheep, and you think "O theres a sheep in that field".But it turns out what you saw wasnt a sheep. But in the field behind a tree is a sheep. So the statement "Theres a sheep in that field is true" but you dont have justification for that as the justification you have for it isnt tied to the actual sheep but a bunch of rocks that looked like a sheep. Do you still "know" theres a sheep in that field? If you can conclusively solve that one, you can get a professorship at any philosophy department you want.
