Our ignorance as Yahoo's

At first sight, Gulliver is more of a Yahoo than a HOUYHNHNM. Simply because he resembles them and has nothing that relates him with the horses. Yet, we see how he doesn't relate to them at all. He is by far smarter, cleaner, and more reasonable than them and thus he is implying that he is better than them. In other words, he is better than most of the humans.

The strange part is though, that the horses are better than him and the rest of humanity. Aside from being absurd, it looks like a joke on the ways that humans would look to any other specie. It would be to say that we are not as good was we think we are. In fact, we are so wrong in our lifestyle, that even horses could be our rulers.

Frankly, that's the only interpretation I find for what's happened in the story. As it progresses, I might change my point of view, or I might be surprised by the accuracy of my hypothesis. To connect this entry with my previous one, the search engine could easily be a horse, a HOUYHNHNM.
