"there are some stereotypes 7:49 someone can make about European 7:50 so-called time of European Dark Ages but 7:54 if you consider from the from the let's 7:56 say time of uh uh 6 700 ad until 8:01 1,600 8:03 1,700 1,700 right this time period of 8:07 1,00 years what the West produced in 8:10 that time compare it with the last 300 8:13 years what they produced in the last 300 8:14 years is much much more notable than 8:17 what they produced in the Thousand Years 8:18 that preceded that in terms of 8:20 inventions in terms of the discoveries 8:22 etc etc etc"


Those 1000 years laid a groundwork.

You couldn't have made many of the inventions if you hadn't had screws, and screws as every day attachment objects were invented in those thousand years, I think around 1400. In the latest parts of the 100 Years' War, plate armour was being attached around the body with screws.

After the aquaeducts, the main go to for water supply was wells within your home. During those 1000 years, Europe developed two types of pumps (one of the inventions had previously been made by Muslims, but in a much more complex manner, hard to produce and hard to entertain). While water supply is again as centralised as aquaeducts, getting it out now utilises technology from those pumps.

Farming is more important than industrial production, and the Medieval farming was way more perfected than Ancient farming. Ploughs with ploughshares that go deep, rotation system, actually having it done by people who live in a relative freedom compared to ancient farm slaves.

While magnetic compasses, paper, gunpowder, all came from China, they came to Europe during this time period.

Potatoes, tomatoes, maize, chocolate, vanilla came to Europe from the Americas in this period. Sugar cane from the Muslim world.

Again, both legal matters and documentation of processes for the use of those producing depend on a high degree of written communication, which was reached in Europe by 1300.

Measuring time came with vast improvements compared to sundials and sandglasses in the Middle Ages. Clockworks are from this period. I think those may have been the oldest everyday use of cogwheels, also very important for the Industrial Revolution. Other improvements in measuring devices involve:
  • the Nonius, named for inventor Peter Nunez in 1542
  • improved tables for sine, cosine, tangent and their inverses, taken over from the Muslim world
  • invention of logarithms, not from the Muslim world.


Compared to this, much of the Industrial Revolution is shallow applications, and much of it is directed at mass production, which means to reduce the number of producers in proportion to consumers, of useful things. Much of it has also, unlike the Middle Ages, involved hasardous products, which have been banned, for good reasons, like DDT or arsenic green, or painting clock numbers with radium. Or simply hasn't the nutrients and non-toxicity you find in biological farming.

8:34 "they're pretty atheist"

And Shinto. And Buddhist.

I'd rather say non-Abrahamic than atheist, since Shintoism is actually much like the belief in Greek and Roman gods.

9:05 Japan.
  • bosses can ask employees to share a wife if the wife is pretty;
  • the population is aging, so old people are given some of the care by robots.
