People aged 19 on average are less educated than older ones? Who could have expected that?

Older gen Z is in their mid 20s. Higher education enrollment rates are declining. I don't see much wrong, factually, with that point of the assessment.

The wrong is that older people know more, because they had more time to learn things.

What's sad is older people actually knowing less than gen-z or gen-y...

This is in great part an effect from the pandemic. It remains to be seen where this trend ends up.
