At what point do we all agree?

Yes. It is called the information kiosk at Universal Studios. I have never been myself but friends have said they are full of knowledge and very helpful.

I do not think we would all agree on universal wisdom. Compassion, for example, is clearly an element of universal wisdom as far as I'm concerned. But there are people who think compassion is another name for being a sucker. "All for one, and that one is me" seems to be some people's motto.
We do have some indicators of that which makes us human, that which is wise all over the world, and compassion is clearly one of them. A will to improve, to learn and grow spiritually and intellectually, seems to be pretty well agreed upon. And harmony of mind and body has been praised as vital at least since the time of the ancient Greeks.
Concern for the needs of the planet itself, often described as Mother Earth, is something we have had to learn in more recent times. The ancients did not make enough changes in the environment to realize that this would ever be an issue, although I'm told the Sahara Desert is a result of deforestation that took place in very early days.
Yes, there is some universal wisdom, but don't expect us ALL to agree on any element of it.

Universal wisdom--Fire is hot. Hot hurts.

No. Wisdom is CERTAINLY not universal. Not everyone has the wherewithal to possess it.

There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah (God) alone! That is the universal wisdom... but there will always be those who disagree with it. Until Jesus' return when there will be a time period of world peace. Allah (God) knows best!

Arguably yes.
Agreeing to disagree is still agreeing.

Probably after we die, we'll all agree. Really, have you ever met an argumentative cadaver? They go along with everything

Not really, but there are common traits, such as favouring the in-group over the out-group, seeking revenge when wronged etc.

Yes there is.
Most will agree in regards to love, truth, and courage.

I think everyone agrees to the golden rule, but we just can't seem to agree on what it means exactly.
