Hehehe…

Regarding the question whether future humans are going to be wiser than we are, I see 4 possiblities:

They are wiser

They are less wise

They are exactly the same (most likely)

They don’t care

  Human nature does not change very much over time. When I was younger I thought the future was going to be awesome because then, people like me would be in power. Now there are many politicians, celebrities, activists, journalists, other people more powerful than me who are the same age as me or even younger; they are pretty much the same as the ones who are older than me.

  i mean wisdom is something you gain from experience so presumably later generations are always going to be wiser provided they study the past, that’s kinda how we got to where we are
