An archive doesn't make us wiser - what we do with the archive does.
All the information that can be put into the archive should be put into the archive.
Now, I see the following thoughts:
What are the limitations of the archive, such that we need to narrow "all possible information" to "less than all possible information"?
If "less than all information" is required, then a systematic filtering should be applied. High-level answers (categories, personal preferences) do us little good.
I welcome this interaction.
Regarding 1, am I right to assume you think the goal is to get wiser? And that an archive would be an useful tool for that?
How then, can we conciliate this with the idea (for some a fact) that all the relevant wisdom for men lies whithin and the only meaningful pieces of information are those that teaches us how to know ourselves?
What kind of wisdom are you talking about?

This is an opinion, not a fact.
You asked the purpose of the site, and I replied "to archive all the information in the world" without regard to what is done with the information.
For someone who wants to keep the conversation on topic, you are certainly talking about "wisdom" quite a bit.
Why would you want "to archive all the information in the world"?
Why does a library contain books?
Now you fell again. If you know what you want to say, say it.
Why would you want "to archive all the information in the world"? It is an honest question.
