Again you are wrong... you wish to belive so much that "your time" has arrived, that you have told yourself that "times have changed", and that you belong to the "chosen ones" handpicked by "time" itself.

Time do not change anything or choose anyone, time is at best a measurement. However "people" do change over time. So let me help you with your statement - it should say "people have changed" instead of "time have changed".

Now that we got that cleared, then let me ask you this... have "people" really changed. Does today "newbie" start with a higher insight than before? Do not worry, if you can not answer that question, because there is no answer, since we are individuals.

So with that knowledge I give every new person I meet the first chance to show his/her talent... I do not waste time trying to judge him/her, because they will judge themself. Their words, their actions - its all something which comes from their person, so I wait for those.

Once they have "exposed" themself, then I do not preach, I only tell them what they should already know. That ignorance is bliss, but also a curse that will/can hunt everything they touch. The dumb one will reject that statement day after day after day, until one day he gives up or his life runs out... The smart one embraces it, and uses it, when he meets new people.

So you see I do not think that all people are dumb - its just the dumb people who think that I do, because everytime I speak with them, then I have to remind them how ignorant they are
