Old people are dumb as shit mostly because old people grew up in a time where it was very easy to be indoctrinated by religion, second they are dumb as shit in comparison to generations that have easy access to information. Third the majority of the population of this country is dumb as shit because despite easy access to information nobody wants to form an opinion of their own so they latch on to talking points, email forwards, etc... In conclusion gay people, black people, asian people, hispanic people, old people, young people, straight people, etc... are for the most part really fucking dumb.
