To All God's Children,
-->Maybe people aren’t getting stupider, but there’s so much knowledge out there that our intelligence is just dispersed over a variety of topics. Ask a professor about any profession other than his own and he won’t know anything. Ask a student about a class that he hasn’t taken and he won’t know anything. Ask a student about a subject from one of her classes and she still won’t be able to tell you much; there’s too much info in the school of thought alone, and they usually plug and chug or regurgitate everything they learn the night before on the test anyway.
