I seriously doubt it. A more likely interpretation is: the advancing Industrial Age altered traditional generational archetypes and turnings. The Transcendentalists only seem to be a single unified generation of miraculous length if you discount those changes. Several alternative timelines have been proposed, but the honest answer here is probably: the Industrial Age was the first alteration of the underlying paradigm in 12,000 years. Of course things were a bit unhinged. Feel free to decide how and to what extent, but please, don't discount such an epic change.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
