so you equate knowledge with intellegence? isn't that a bit of a wrong view? there are lots of knowledgable people that arn't super intelligent, and more and more children are born with intelligence that outpaces the last generation, just ask any parent
of course children arn't born with knowledge but, no one says that. what we are saying is people now absorb more information and learn things faster and produce new things easier than earlier generations, that shows an increase in intellegence
knowledge and intellegence normally go hand in hand but not always
