I would think the hardest part would be getting through the first big city filled with "educated" folks. Just keep your mouth mostly shut, don't do anything fancy, just get what you need and move out.

I suggest the "building blocks of our identities" probably precede the ancient Greeks. Instead of regurgitating someone else's theories, be more terse and to the point, or translate that abstract intellect into plebeian. Understanding different branches of progress and invention of different societies can pose problems but nothing most of us can't deal with, even with our present limited education. Blitzzz

Understood.
