Re: [OT] Plato\'s Pub and Philosophical Society
Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting the church or religion or anything like that...
The main factors that held back advancement in the dark ages was war, famine, and disease. People who are struggling to survive aren't as interested in 'science' or technology. The church was not a major factor and didn't really interfere with much until the late middle ages through the renaissance.
