      Thesis: the average 18 year old student in, say, York in AD 800 (the middle of the so-called "Dark Ages") had read more, knew more languages, was better trained in logic, could read more music, knew more mathematics and astronomy than the average student from a university today.

      I hate these conservative hot takes about how teenagers in ye olden days had all memorized the entirety of the Scriptures and knew Latin and Greek and whatnot I don't even care about debunking it So what if they did, they wasted their time learning a bunch of dumb shit

          I could learn those things if I wanted, but I haven't because I have no interest and it's of no benefit to me That makes me the smart one

          He also weaselworded with 'student' which might as well as have said 'children of nobility' but yes also your point is far more salient.pic.twitter.com/dIzrCdPbCq

          I mean like in that era, even the nobilities typical education would have finished up around their mid teens, right? With craftsmen/merchant types probably finishing up any apprenticeships at the same age?

          There are a lot of more important things that they knew that I don't, like, idk, agriculture? But it's not important to me, it was important to them.

          I always like "they could speak multiple languages" because, yeah, probably. So can most Europeans. Also, a good portion of Europe could fit inside my state. Even if I learn a second language, I'd almost never get to use it.

          Still trying to figure out how they could know half the mathematics the average high school senior knows today when calculus, complex numbers, fractals, and logs hadn't even been discovered yet.
