Well, that's not quite accurate. Many of the facts from the past were wrong because people were stupider then. But now we have the right facts, children."

Do you mean less well educated? Well, some of them were educated as well as could be for the times.

Do you mean less intelligent? I'd have to disagree. I doubt if there has been any significant change in mankind's intelligence in the last 10,000 years. All that has changed is the amount we know. And there are those who are resisting that change.
