Does this mean today we're even stupider?

If these are Luther's thoughts on the patriarchs, then what of us?

AELW2:55

"Today our life is very short, and yet the extent to which human minds are advancing is quite clear. What do you suppose happened in those very long lives, when the keenness and vigor of the human mind was also greater? Our nature today is duller and more stupid by far."
