I’m impressed by how you manage to disparage both the very real intellectual achievement of both the Byzantine empire and the Abbasid Caliphate in such a short comment. It’s even more amusing that you do that while comparing them to the Greek achievements without realising that the main reasons you know about them is due to translations made by intellectuals of the Byzantine empire and especially of the Caliphate.
- drcode 3y agoIt seems like you're just kind of arguing that every culture everywhere at all times was the most awesome culture ever and had the most awesome scientific achievements and saying that relative comparisons are possible is uncouth Even though I'm an oaf, I do think it's nice that they maintained copies of the Greek stuff
