They helped Europe out of theirs, by holding onto the Greek wisdoms and philosophies through their dark ages. Renaissance means rebirth, and it was the rebirth of Greek thought in Europe, rediscovered though the cultural transfusions that happened during the Crusades. The Crusades turned out to be the violent birth of the modern Hellenistic world.

We relearned Aristotle through Avicenna.

So wait, it's considered "bigotry" to disapprove of a religion that has the conquest of non-believers as a core principle, but to actually be a part of that religion makes you a protected class?

Yeah, Germany's celebration of Ramadan is a glorious thing, we agree.

It's interesting learning all the factors that influenced the renaissance.

The crusades allowed Europe to rediscover a lot of knowledge that was lost during the dark ages.

The discovery of the America's and subsequent importation of potatoes and coffee allowed for a more stable nutritional source and caffeine source respectively.

The beginning of the scientific revolution.

Truly a glorious time in human history.

well his ancestor had a similar view of all non-believers of the “ideals” highlighted in the book ‘my struggle’. in fact they had a solution of sorts for non-believers of the reich’s cause

Looks like other sources are verifying this. Not sure how he got so much of it so early, he must know some people

I see what you did there.

I didn't do it. I ganked from several youtube videos and history of science books I've read.

The sleep regiments of the big scientist and philosophers in history are ridiculously small.

They were all hypomanic probly.

I listened to a video yesterday explaining how like 65% of our cultivated crops are from North America, and how the potato's stability, greater calorie count, and ability to grow in places other plants couldn't was the reason why famines went from once every 2-3 years to once every decade or more in Europe, and effectively lead to the dominance of Northern Europe over the Mediterranean. Basically the reason Rome and Greece were so powerful is because they were situated in areas where crop failures were more rare and so they could support larger populations, whereas Northern Europe had a crop failure every 2-3 years which resulted in significant mortality.

Also compare calories gained per laborer in grain based societies vs rice based societies. Rice based societies worked for their calories so much harder over many successive generations that they are smaller as a result, and if you compare even North vs South Koreans, the southernors are a few inches taller on average, heavier, heartier stock. It is no winder rice based societies are more collective and less individualistic than theie grain counterparts.

Sociology is food is very interesting. But early in soc 101 you learn that specialization is a function of surplus, and that the most important societal surplus is food.
