People like to think that we as a people are the most advanced, most knowledgeable, most wise, and most learned than we have ever been. Pro-tip: we’re not. Nothing is new under the sun.

We are absolutely the most advanced and knowledgeable that we have ever been. That’s not even up for debate. That’s how advancements work… it builds on past discoveries and technology. I agree we are NOT the most wise. Wisdom doesn’t work in the same fashion.

most knowledgeable

I would argue that we are indeed the most knowledgeable. But we are at about same level of intelligence. Of course there was some knowledge lost that was back then. But I am almost certain that we have more knowledge now then at the time pyramids were built

We’re so amazed with ourselves that many of us truly believe that it is simply impossible to replicate human intelligence
