The reader will understand that it's mocking only from the context. Two primary ways to give context:

Show events that demonstrate that this world does not exhibit "knowledge at its heights."
Give the narrator's or viewpoint character's real opinions about the world and its level of knowledge.

If you give this context first, the reader will realize that the statement is mocking when it appears.

If you give the mocking statement first, an attentive reader will come to realize only later that the statement was mocking.
