Answer 1

The ubiquitous "they" may be referring to the gap between the haves and the have nots.  That gap continues to widen with every new generation.

Answer 2

So true! Man doesn't really change - just his toys (technology) do.......

Hegel's cyclic theory of history states that mankind's past simply repeats itself over and over again - same game, just different players.......

How can mankind improve itself when every babe that's born  must learn everything anew. Babies must repeat the same learning process that their parents experienced. How can mankind improve on itself if it is destined to repeat the mistakes of prior generations?

Until geneticists manage to find a way to transmit knowledge from one generation to the next via the egg(or whatever) our offspring will always be just as ignorant as their parents and will err in the same old ways.

Ho-hum.
