Wizards can do magic, while muggles seem to be better at everything else. For example wizarding society is woefully behind Muggle society in nearly every field of human endeavor from philosophy (lacking Plato, Nietzche) to math(nothing beyond basic arithmetic) even though they have been around longer. Their knowledge and education is so limited because it only centers on magic, while Muggle schools teach things like science which actually examines how nature works or foreign language. As Hermione said, "Most wizards don't have an ounce of logic." Without logic their is no intelligence and so the average Muggle is probably smarter than the average wizard. Wizarding society is woefully backward with "cruel and unusual punishment" like Azkaban and no good art forms, no Da Vinci, U2, or even Judy Garland . Subjects at Hogwarts like Transfiguration are a joke compared to fields like physics. I'd rather be a Muggle and smart than magical. Any thoughts on this?
