Are we really wiser in the 21st century than people were thousands of years ago?

we're wiser but some 21st century people just tend to be TOO wise...

maybe we are more enlightened in science and technology but morality? I doubt it...

Solomon the author of Proverbs said.. "There is nothing new under the sun." and many people laugh with this statement but he wasnt talking about technology, he was talking about the issues of the human heart..

I remember the advice from the book of Proverbs that could help us save our butt

"A soft answer defuses anger, but harsh words stir up evil."

"'A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."

"The fool hates to be corrected by his father, but a wise son
listens to advice."

Evolution dictates not. Evolution states that if you do not use it, that you loose it.

yet man only uses less than 8% of his brain. 92% is not actually needed therefore it will decrease, yet it does not? Then evolution dictates that at one time we must have needed it, therefore it exist. Our brains give more evidence of a devolution of man instead of an evolution of man.

Everything we have now we may have had before, perhaps even better technologies or even greater and more diverse knowledge of this creation. Once we were worthy to walk with God. We are now a people with amnesia of our past. We know little about ourselves beyond 6,000 years. Nothing 30,000 years ago. We are merely stumbling around in the dark, guessing of things we do not and can not know. Were we more some 36,000 years ago, did we walk among the stars?

One look at the evening news and the answer is clear...we are still nowhere. Sure, we got crap load of information floating and flowing around the wire, still human nature kind of stuck somewhere in the Stone Age.

It seems nowadays what we have is information overload but not enlightenment...

they are all construct. are we wiser? yes, because at least this time, we have started to be skeptical about such things as politics, morality, philosophy etc.

[Tirong-say]

We are in exploiting what we gain in our quest and exploration of knowledge, and yet stumble on so many shortcomings for so many things are left left to be certained.

I don't know.. Each of us has its own perception and thinking about those things.
Nag una lang clang gipanganak then kita karon kay nag base tag mga books, histories sum up with experiences we have in our life.

But to think, pareha2x ra man tag g agi an, lahi lang ang time line.
mao dili kow mo ingon, mas wise ta nila or vice versa.
Each of us has its own weaknesses and strength dodong treize.
and its a matter of logic and thinking per situation.

SO its a case to case basis ika nga.
