The current human race, called Homo sapiens, has existed for thousands of years. Since the beginning of human civilization, that is to say, since the time of writing, human society has made great progress, but what about human beings themselves? Is it smarter than before, or is it more stupid?
The IQ of humans has not changed. Who dares to say that people today have higher IQs than people in ancient times? The heights reached by the skilled craftsmen, philosophers, and thinkers of ancient times are simply beyond the reach of modern people.
In our country, no one dares to say that they are better than Lao Tzu and Confucius more than 2,000 years ago, although the technology at that time was not as good as now, but their thinking surpassed the present. In today's Europe, who would dare to say that his ideas surpassed those of Socrates and Plato?
Like our country, there are many ancient civilizations in history, such as ancient Egypt, ancient India, ancient Babylon, etc., which can be called the miracle of that time.
Compared with ancient times, the material life of today's society has been greatly improved. The reason for this is not the improvement of human IQ, but the result of the accumulation of scientific and technological level.
Human nature has not changed either. Whether human nature is inherently good or evil, a newborn person is a blank sheet of paper, and when he comes to the world and enters society, he enters the big dye vat, which is inevitably stained with colors.
This is colorful, there are good and bad, positive and negative, good and ugly. Human beings naturally have two sides, some people are angels, some people are devils, and some people are sometimes angels and sometimes devils.
The history of mankind is a history of progress, a history of war, and a history of self-destruction. Where there are people, there is strife, there is war, there is killing.
But now, unlike any previous period, from the age of cold weapons to the age of hot weapons, and now mankind has mastered the ** of self-destruction. Human beings are holding the ** that can end themselves, and instead of being afraid, they even think that they have the tools to determine their fate.
You say, have humans become wiser? Of course not, it's getting stupider and stupider!
