We're the same race of people that first walked out of Africa 100,000 years ago. We have the same physical brain makeup, genetically we're the same species. So our instincts have not changed no matter how much our technology has advanced. We've just incorporated those instincts into our lives differently.
My guess is that the every day guy in history thought about the same every day issues we do. They had landlords, they had employers, they worried about the boy their daughter would marry. Instead of rich and poor they had patricians and plebeians. But, they considered themselves as advanced as we consider ourselves.
If we can somehow learn from the chaotic patterns of the past to at least help us in the present then anything can be valuable. I don't care if it's Plato's Republic or The Freak Brothers, it tells us who we were and who we are. Personally, I believe that it's far more important to be a well rounded then logically yes or no. What good is critical thinking if there's really nothing to think critically about?
