Srimad-Bhagavatam has stated about the people of this age..

"So at the present moment the defect is that people are not very serious to understand of Krṣṇa, because in this age, as it is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam about the people of this age,

prayeṇalpayuṣaḥ (sabhya)
kalav asmin yuge janaḥ
mandaḥ sumanda-matayo
manda-bhagya hy upadrutaḥ
[SB 1.1.10]

Prayeṇalpayuṣaḥ. People are living not as they used to live formerly. In this age, Kali-yuga, the maximum years one can live: hundred years in this Kali-yuga. Hundred years. In the Dvapara-yuga it was one thousand years. In the Treta-yuga it was ten thousand years. In the Satya-yuga it was hundred thousand years. It is reducing. Kali-yuga means the duration of age will reduce, the memory will reduce, the bodily strength will reduce, mercifulness will reduce. In this way everything will reduce. This is Kali-yuga. Supply of foodstuff will be reduced. This is Kali-yuga. So mandaḥ. Everyone is bad, not full strength. Mandaḥ sumanda-matayo. And everyone has got a sumanda-mata. Mata means opinion or system which is also sumanda. Not only mandaḥ but sumanda. Everyone is manufacturing a type of Bhagavan, a type of religious system. That is not bona fide at all. Sumanda-matayo. Mandaḥ sumanda matayo. And everyone is unfortunate, manda-bhagya, unfortunate in this sense: they do not know what is the aim of life, how human life should make progress."
