      Now a days people who are "educated" look down on someone they only known even existed for 5 seconds as "uneducated." Like they are superior to them. They don't even know them. For all they know that person has lived 5 times as long as them and have been "educated" from birth.
      Did that problem exist in the medieval period? It could explain why countryfolk are commonly depicted as rejecting education. Their way of thinking may actually be "Well I don't want to risk ending up like that arrogant asshole."

You were probably burned at the stake several times but just slithered out into a new vessel or a vase you made of your own hair after eating it and dying of an obstruction while stinging your own bee or other vespid maybe a fish mat or pissant rug is your type of safe place.

    As a scientist I would recommend an individual spec into the monk skill tree to aquire enlightenment and attentional will based skills primarily before choosing any other path. Youd be surprised to learn that after years of labored study, intellect is a very effective spiritual paperweight without the understanding to match. Also anything laborous is a result of friction meaning theres a better method thats both easier and more complete waiting to be discovered by those able to see, nothing is truly invented by mankind save for corrupt devices.

    2:35 Astronomy is the science that was studied by all students. He says they were “based on theory” as if that is a negative. Every science is based on theoretical foundations. And the claim they were “based on superstition” is just false and ignorant. This entire video is a complete oversimplification of the real educational system at that point.

      Medieval peasants could by and large all read and write in their own languages, because all you need to know to be able to do that, especially before spelling was standardized, is your own language's writing system (the alphabet). It was reading and writing in Latin which would be rare or practically unheard of among the peasantry.

    • @maiqtheliar789
      @maiqtheliar789 Před rokem

      Reading and writing are damned useful in any level of life and even a small child can learn what sounds the letters represent and sound out the words to spell based on the sound of the word. Most language spellings weren't standardized until well after the medieval period. But typically some but not all peasants could read and write in their own language. Might only be a few people in a village that could but those people would have been valued. People wanting to be able to read the bible in their own languages was one of the big issues that later led to the reformation which wouldn't have happened if very few people could read in those languages.

My suggestion was that it didn't strike me as requiring any particular schooling or intelligence to appreciate they were at odds with each other and that ultimately therefore, they were rather arbitrary..... and in discerning that, surely that then undermined them all....
