Me not doing science on the daily and the bees drinking Mountain Dew are the picture of modernity and Bacon should see us

Oh Gutenberg I’m kissing u on the lips

If I was in the Middle Ages I probs wouldn’t even question the church. Too much existential shit I don’t care about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’d be a monk going ape shit on the illuminated manuscripts by candlelight

And modern American evangelicals nationalist nutjob wackos have snatched that torch and hoisted it high 🥴

Kinda sounds like Scientology tbh

I’m an optimist but guys that’s just not how humans work 😭

I fucking hate philosophy. Like don’t be evil. Next.

Honestly I had enough trouble passing science classes we might have well been doing all that shit

I’m sorry but I just don’t think we can say someone born almost in the eighteenth century can be considered to live in the renaissance. I know the author said that but as I’m reading, I’m mentally crossing my arms and shaking my head but I’m interested in learning but I can’t agree
