I have always thought so, but just lately, I’ve begun to question this. The human race has amassed quite a lot of knowledge and has an achieved an extensive understanding of the principles of our universe but how many of us actually know this stuff? How many of us actually use this knowledge in their day to day lives? It’s not possible to get an accurate figure on this but I personally doubt it would be much more than 10% of the world’s population. So that means the vast majority of us are more or less completely ignorant of an incredible amount of knowledge and instead watch TV, download porn, go shopping, socialize and believe in the same weird stuff that people have been believing in for the last 2000 freakin’ years! I mean, the only way out of this age of ignorance is if people in the future actually develop a need to learn and understand all this knowledge, but what are the chances of that happening?
