And how more food was produced in that timeframe after

Well, we *were* talking about the origins of the Enlightenment

So more time means more time for thinking I'm guessing is the idea.

Survive -> More time -> Enlightenment -> Advances in politics

You are feeding a false enlightenment Era narrative that attempted to tear down everything that came before it. If you look at the inventions during the "Darks Ages" alone you can see that this narrative is a lie.

The CANNON Mother fucker

The stirrup imported from China in the sixth or seventh century and improved in the eighth by the Franks, and the saddle, whose design met significant improvements in the West. Both advances made the Western heavy cavalry an almost invincible weapon

Lmao taking claim for chinese advancement

Chinese failed time and time again to use their inventions to any advantage

And show me the person who imported it from China

ProTip you cannot

Europe was definitely inventing a lot during the pre-enlightenment era, but there WAS a small 'ice age' @DanConway

The article litterally says it was you nob

I was using this as an example

they are making a historical assumption

With very little evidence to support it

I thought you were a skeptic

@Fitzydog Im not disagreeing with that

k, I felt like it was glossed over too quickly.

I'm sure it DID have quite an effect on crop harvests for several decades

Pretty sure humans have been inventing since before they were even considered human.

It's a constant improvement process.

lol that was "the distributists" point

It also allowed storage and breeding processes for this timeframe to improve

There was a cold snap and a massive disease raviging the contenant

Just so you know

I am going off of a different source from a paper i wrote

You forget how the plague isolated communities. Add in warring states as warlords vied for power

that contradicts the china

lol

This is just bad history friend
