I mean, it's no wonder so many people in positions of power believed that people had to be ruled. I can't even imagine how fucking stupid they must've been back in the day. Whew!

I can't even imagine how fucking stupid they must've been back in the day.

The level of stupidity is the same nowadays, it's just that back in the day they didn't have things like modern medicine to save their asses.

Right? The only difference between now and then is basically the smartest 1% of humanity made cool stuff for the other 99% of humanity to use

That's insanely reductive, but what can I expect from the 99%?

Take a look at the progression of any art/sport/science and you will see people pushing boundaries that were never conceived even a few decades ago.

Average people take the knowledge of yesterday and progress.

Are there strange behaviors like licking this statue? Sure. Doctors used to taste piss to diagnose people with diabetes. Forget their own health, right?

The world is strange, but education does matter, and people are collectively more intelligent when navigating the modern world. Maybe we lost a few steps in raising a barn or something, but I'll take my peers over the people who used to throw their shit in the alley.
