If IQs are rising (people are getting smarter), where are all the new greats works of art, literature, music, etc. In my view those areas are a lot worse than they used to be. Is anybody trying to say modern classical composers are as good or better than Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and a bunch of others from those eras? To be terse, they’re not nearly as good.

Yes, driftless, what is being created today that will last for centuries like Shakespeare? Very little in my opinion. The teen vampire movies?
