When the age is in, the wit is out

Summary

This quote implies that as time passes and a new generation comes into power, the wisdom and intelligence of the previous generation become obsolete and less valued. It suggests that societal trends often favor youth and novelty over experience and sagacity. This could also reflect the rapid pace of change in modern times, where knowledge and skills from the past may not always be relevant or appreciated in the present scenario. Ultimately, it highlights the tendency to overlook the wisdom of older generations in favor of the perspectives and ideas of the young.
