Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.

They would be wrong on the first part but they just might (finally) be right on the latter.
However, this is certainly true for the Baby Boomers! 🙂
Boomers better problem solvers than the Greatest Generation?
Hard to defend, methinks. Just by getting to the moon they busted the curve.
There’s a good amount of high performer boomers, yes, but for such a gigantic, pampered cohort the achievements come out thinner when you factor in size and affluence. A generation of underachievers whose biggest “achievement” may turn out to be raising a generation of even more self-absorbed snowflakes. 🙂
(Which is where the “wise” part comes in.)
