The old aren't really smarter than the young in terms of sheer brainpower. It's just that we've already made the kinds of mistakes that the young are about to make and we've already suffered the consequences the young are going to suffer, if they disregard the record of the past.

I don’t necessarily blame that on old folks. Maybe a small number, but it’s mainly our modern education system with young teachers. I can attest to that as someone who just came out of High School.
