I disagree in the very strongest terms. We barely have any concept of how education has penetrated our society, to a far greater degree, now than fifty years ago. We as a population are FAR more educated, far less ignorant, and generally speaking extraordinarily better off in our daily lives than in the past. It's only because the phenomenon of social media, which has crowd sourced ignorance and hurled it in front of our eyes, that we perceive we're in an unenlighted age/trajectory.
