Yeah, whatever we do differently now is because of new knowledge. Not because we're smarter. It's so annoying when conspiracy idiots say "how was this ancient primitive civilization able to build a pyramid, it must have been aliens" while the people back then were just as smart as we are now, but with less knowledge and technological advancements then we have today.

My previous comment is what I usually say to boomers who claim "the new generation is so dumb, they can't even use a rotary phone anymore" or anything like that. Yeah grandpa, because we have smartphones now. In ancient Rome they built massive aquaducts, I'd like to see you try building one, with a chisel, which still stands over 3000 years later. You're so dumb, you don't even know how to do that while ancient Romans built them all across Europe.

It's just grumpy old farts who are stuck in their midlife and now feel left behind and so much smarter and better than younger people while in reality being so extremity stubborn and ignorant.
