I think I have to be smarter than everyone in the past. I have far more general information and have had far more learning experiences than all the philosophers in greece and rome put together.

Define 'book'
It's not like humans went from retarded neanderthals to writing novels overnight. Development of literature went through fuckload of stages, but the time the first leatherbound manuscript had been made the world was ripe with lost writings.
