What's a philosophical question we wrestle with today, that our ancestors never did?

Heraclitus: “you never step in the same river twice”

The alternative is every question is different and every ancestor; every human fundamentally have wrestled with questions that were unique only to them and are not transmutable over different humans

Though stoicism came during the Roman times where as Heraclitus was part of the pre Socratic, I’d argue your point stands

Any thought that’s stood the test of time, whether that’s Lao Tze, Plato, Confucius, Aristotle, Siddartha Guatama, Mengzi, Vedic philosophers, Tao Te Ching - is worth anyone’s time imo

The fact that we still read the Stoics, and all religious/spiritual texts,  and find their contemplations mostly relevant, would suggest this isn't the case. No?
