The Intellectual Level of Today’s Children
With the popularization of scientific tools, the distribution of knowledge, and the increase in waves of spiritual practices, children are now much more intelligent than before. Now, a boy or girl of five or 10 is often more progressive than his or her elders in terms of understanding, intellectual power, the complexity of information, scientific conclusion, understanding vital and sexual problems, and knowledge comprehension. This notion is a general affair and is accepted by all that the intellectual level of children has developed exceedingly. There might have been some instances in previous eons where genius children such as Avicenna, Saadi, Socrates, Bahaʾal-din al-ʿAmili, Mir Damad, Mir Fendereski, Al-Hilli, and others existed. However, the majority of people of this generation are relatively more advanced in intellect and wisdom.
