Thanks is part to our education system, we tend to think that we're smarter than the stupid guys in funny wigs who came before us.

We think that because we know how to use iPhones (but not build them), browse the Internet (but not understand how it works), and use Google (but not really know anything), our educational system is working just great. By the same token, we think that those dumb aristocrats who used horses to get around and didn't have electricity were neanderthals.
