Is your generation wiser than your grandparents' generation?

Answer 1

Every statistical study I have heard about or read of late, has pointed to a decrease in IQ by 10% to 20% in last couple decades, so the evidence is sadly that the younger adult generation are not wiser than forefathers

-

Wisdom is a relative term, most IQ test are standardized, leading to debate of complete validity when dealing with ever changing outside world.

But those that do good at their studies and well on test, are proven to have capability for adaptive change, thus the environment is not as much a factor as comprehension

-

Through out the centuries, there have been peeks and lows, in societies populous education knowledge.

Almost every one is capable of acquiring a high IQ leading to wisdom, but often are unlimited potential for learning, is our societies goals to educate the populace, by our own lack of desire for higher education, and lack of funds to attend places were higher learning is offered.

Answer 2

It is difficult to make generalizations about an entire generation being wiser than another. Each generation faces its own unique challenges and has different experiences that shape their wisdom. Some individuals in my generation may be wiser than some individuals in my grandparents' generation, but it is not fair to make a blanket statement about the overall wisdom of a generation.
