You (nor for that matter, I) may not be any 'smarter' than the lesser members of those tribes whose artists did the drawing - but you are quite less burdened than many - with the freight of accumulated dumbth and the illusion that You Know (all that stuff). Or so it seems.

Anyway, I deem that the Sufis got it right, ~ the wise one can be noticed - s/he is the one who insists that s/he knows little or nothing.

I tend to think that maturity consists in the gradual then accelerated shedding of as much as possible - of most everything we have been 'taught'.

(But then - what do I know? ;-)
