it was not everywhere

why would a feudal lord want that

"stupid 14th century kings! Why can't you be rational like me, a big-brained modern capitalist!"

africa was mainly slave society by then

I'm just talking europe because i know a little bit about that

and latin america was mainly primitive society

they did lmao

who didnt were the serfs

thats what is called alienation **boi**

People in the past were just as intelligent as we are, they just had worse access to education and information or our accumulated knowledge

exactly

and many kings had knowledge about their own position

the kings received tutoring about the knowledge of the ancient greeks where they could find it

they did from a feudal point of view

so nice derailing of the argument

theological anatomy

you still haven't shown a capitalist society before the enlightenment

and so on

and donald trump things climate change is a chinese scam

feudalism only has such bad look because it was the first main enemy of capitalism

idiots do not prove general intelligence was lower

when capitalism was progressive

lol

this reminds me of that Its always sunny episode

this is basically you right now

they had a wrong concept of substance, ok, dont mean they were dumb

in fact mostly people do today

doesnt*

most philosophy until the 16th century was still based on aristotelian concepts

i'd say he was pretty damn smart

for his time he was

smart people can come to wrong conclusions

where did i say that

yeah to "ancient greeks" in general, not aristotle in particular

i mean slaves didnt had any acess to information whatsoever

i did not know he believed that, but i do not think he was an idiot

so understandable

we are talking now about greece

back then there was no such thing as empirical science and knowledge was a luxury good

but serfs didnt had education too
