The theologian of middle ages, wasted time debating if the angels have sex.
(Victoria secret angels for sure they have.)
After them came the impericist who tested hypothesis.
Also in same period we have the renaissance man who knew few trades and he could use this to check if the hypothesis is correct (Leonardo da Vinci, knew to cast bronze,paint, sculpt, build complicated machinery)
After that came the nature philosophers like Newton who tested their knowledge against nature.
German university were the first ones who used research.
And now in 21 century we are back at scholastics.
I just saw a video of US history professor who lectured about Aztecs and he said that in war they wrestled their enemies they captured them and they sacrificed one year later.
As anyone who studied self defence, the best way to defend against a wrestler is to stick a sharp object in to some blood vessels or in the eye or throat.
The Aztecs and their enemies had obsidian blades, they could sharp an antler, or a thick branch and use it, if they wanted to avoid a heart surgery on the top of the temple.
And the 'profesor' laughed and said that mist of the people don't use their brain
I don't want to publish the name of the profesor because I hope he fades in to obscurity.
Honestly I expected more from US universities, I expected more a pragmatic no nonsense approach, in which the hypothesis are strongly scrutinized.
It is not the only case: I have read a study that showed that make hands evolved for punching.
Then why some boxers fracture their hands?
