[QUOTE="arilliusbm:1188072"][QUOTE="the_reverend:1188063"]the renaissance wasn't the renaissance you think it was. they were complaining about the same bullshit people complain about now. especially twitter. Remembering history is selective. For ever Renaissance MAN, there were 10000 nameless faceless bodies writhing in the streets, sleeping in filth and ejaculating into each other. [/QUOTE] Indeed, not everything is as pretty as one would imagine. But from a historical perspective, there is no question that WESTERN civilization experienced a breakthrough of thought during the Renaissance. In school, kids are taught history from a Western Perspective, rather than a neutral or complete perspective. We barely teach our kids about Chinese history, Indian History, or anything that is outside of Western Civ. You usually have to take electives in college to learn about that stuff. The kids are brainwashed from a young age. We are taught that the "Dark Ages" were "dark" - but if you really sit and think about it, they tell us that because Christianity had not completely spread through Europe yet. The peaks of Civilization seem to come in waves, and to me at least, religion hinders progress during each wave. It seems we are nearing a steep decline in humanity's progress, even though technology has increased 10000000x in the past 20 years. Mental progression is hindered by the surroundings and environment.. those who control the surroundings and environment control the masses. There are select few individuals on this planet that are above any law or president and money means nothing to them. [/QUOTE]
