I find this to be a fun thought experiment because what most people tend to realize when they *really* start to break things down is that they are *a lot* less capable/knowledgeable then they thought they were.

this (hopefully) leads to a hunger for understanding; everyone should know the basics for survival but those who strive to understand more would be the ones that *truly* thrive (could you evolve from the Stone Age -> Bronze Age -> Iron Age etc)
