Thank you for a great post :)
I don't think people in the past were smarter or wiser, I also know that is each phase of history people looked back to find smart people and their fancy quotes haha

You're welcome. I think they were wiser, especially the intellectuals, not necessarily the ordinary people.
Most of new philosophers are nihilists, I don't like that kind of way of looking at the world, and I hardly find and wisdom in their teachings, so I like to look back in history to find some wisdom in the past and reflect.
Philosophy simply becomes psychology over time the more we understand our own brains.People these days are much smarter than people who had no education and knowledge of the human brain.
Yes but there is more to philosophy than just human interactions: it also covers ethics, morality and metaphysics.
All those are psychology if you cant prove metaphysics are actually measurable physics
