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

Depends on the timeframe

Fall of Rome--------->Enlightenment

This video is fantastic if you want to know more about the ice age, little ice age, and climate change in general: https://youtu.be/G0Cp7DrvNLQ

They also cite inventions post dark ages

This is a large span of time

My main point

This article is all jacked

THE ENLIGHTMENT DID NOT MAGICALLY APPEAR

it was built on by the Science and engineering and philosophy that happened during the socalled "dark Ages"

You also realize post fall of rome. Spain and france were invaded by the moors. Whome had trade with their islamic brothers who ran the silk road

Oh, the video also talks about the enlightenment period.

It said that there was a period of time where the climate was super awesome for growing food and in general not having a hard time. It gave people a better food amount and more time to think about stuff.

Yes there was some. I never denied that. I stated it was only clergy. The rest of the citizenry was busy trying to survive

"Only Clergy"

Well, it has been shown that an increase in food leads to an increase in the populace, which leads to an increase in specialization

You mean the people who did Science engineering and Philosophy🤦🏿 in that time frame

The cold period between romes warm period, and the enlightenments warm period. Constant wars. And the plague gave to much for common citizenry to worry about

"Constant Wars"
