In Isaac Newton's day health and justice systems were shitty and education was only for the landowners. But Isaac Newton and his contemporaries were as brilliant a bunch as you can find in all of history. In the 1680's people who walked in the streets of London wore high shoes because of the shit lying in the ground. So much for health. People who pissed off the crown were drawn and quartered. So much for justice. Schools like Oxforde and Cambridge, in those days, were committed to a particular theological viewpoint. So much for education quality. Bob Kolker
