From biblical times to the modern day, human nature has remained basically unchanged. With all the education we have received, human beings have far more knowledge available now than any time in history. But, somehow no matter how much knowledge human beings acquire, wisdom is no better now than in biblical times. Those of us that have made it to a certain age, acknowledge that we are now wiser than when we were young. It frustrates and disappoints us that we have been no more successful at passing down wisdom than our parents or our biblical ancestors were.
There were some bright spots in history where elder respect did provide some amount of wisdom to be passed down from generation to generation. For the most part, that phenomenon has been “educated” out of modern human beings. Today older people watch younger people make the very same mistakes they made and tried to warn the younger generation about. Clearly, wisdom was left out of the DNA chain, and there seems no other way to transfer wisdom from generation to generation. Wisdom must be attained the hard way, by personal experience.

I am a performance engineer - and the subject is anti-cultural. What is taught today is that if doing the right things doesn't work, the cure is to do it harder. Consider that we have been trying to improve government for over 200 years by electing the right people into authority. Our need for change is deep indeed.
