i can't think of a single smart person. it's not a generation thing everyone is just stupid. humans will die out without having done anything of merit. i don't even know the so-called 'alphabet'

I work in the marine sciences, and the projects and models I see people build out every day absolutely boggles my mind with how brilliant some scientists can be. But you can also talk to that same person about a topic outside of their discipline and they will be wildly stupid.

Our problem imo, is that most humans think of themselves as generalists, and therefore think they have something valid or worthwhile to say about most topics. I reality however, there is probably a single topic that you have enough knowledge of that your opinion is worth broadcasting to the masses, and even that might be a stretch for a large chunk of society. I suppose anime is technically a topic though.
