For 500 years, not a single treatise worth reading put forth except for the Defensor Pacis, which everyone reads.

Anyone with any academic talent and ambition went into theology. If you studied law, physics or medicine at University of Paris it meant you were too dumb to get into theology school.

Aristotle's entire legacy is junk. I say this as someone who took two classes where I was forced to read nothing but Aristotle.

It's important to remember that virtually everything these men constructed - the thought systems they gave birth to and societies that emerged from them (if any) - we totally fucking thrashed and humiliated and ground into dust during the 30 Years War, if not sooner. The 30 Years War was like a windshield wiper for everyone's brain. We think WWII was a big deal but jesus, the 30 Years War.

The Visigoths were a yuge improvement IMHO, bigger than the reformation in terms of their effect on politics. Germans just periodically injected sanity into western europe.
