There is a prideful assumption that all human knowledge progresses like ascending a ladder. This might be true of most sciences but is not true of insight. or art. No one has come close to writing anything with the breadth and depth of Shakespeares plays and poetry. Few today can even copy the works of the greatest artists and no composer has equaled the music of Bach, Beethoven or Mozart.
