For what reason do you believe this?
I believe it because where do you see human affairs comprised of strictly one and not the other?
It isn't 1 to 1. Maybe there isn't any guaranteed ratio. But I think with enough knowledge and enough people, eventually wisdom grows (like mold -- patchy at first, but spreading given the right conditions).
Or the reverse, "wisdom" turns into knowledge, which turns into wisdom (no scare quotes = good examples of tool use).
Strictly one? Or overwhelmingly one?
Wisdom seems rare in all cases; knowledge, however, is common.
If you're talking about the surge in pure knowledge, then yeah, the ratio is changing. But I don't think most people notice beyond a dim awareness of "my iPhone is magic, I wonder what makes it go."
