Well the plot twist is, they were generally exceptionally smart at what they needed to know to survive. It's easy to forget how difficult life was for average people up until fairly recently. Like less than a century ago. Education and literacy really weren't a priority.
Iâm not sure if not discriminating against lefties, homosexuals, âcoloredâ, women in general, âwitchesâ in particular, muslims, jews, basically anone non-Christian or even non-{insert denomination} counts as âeducation and literacyâ.
It takes education to free people of misconceptions. And to be clear, education isn't just reading, writing, and arithmetic.
I understand there's a trend of blaming older generations for just being worse human beings, but in that case my question is, what changed? Or are people still just as terrible? It's seems undeniable to me that things have improved, and that that improvement comes mostly from better education about issues, and about the world in general.
