That seems like an incredibly uneducated view of what the world was like previously.

  Interesting, care to provide arguments? I provided mine: we had empires as default, they needed lots of slaves. Slaves must be strong, but stupid. Smart slaves were trouble. So got sorted out. Simplified, yes, but "uneducated" where?

      Not an argument. I believe I read a lot of history books. So can you then provide me with your enlightened wisdom that you got, I apparently failed to grasp?

        "needed lots of dumb workers and peasants who were able to do their simple work" Sounds like a very Monty Python-esque view of history, that's all. Perhaps you have a far more nuanced view, but it doesn't come across as such.
