However...I DO think things like Game of Thrones have blasted them a little bit into the stone age. The characters are all basically 2 dimensional simply because everything is pure, black and white, good vs evil.

I would argue that that dehumanizes the characters and reduces complexity(yes, I know hobbits are not men.)
