I’ve been crashing a lot actually. Sometimes like I can’t tell where I am supposed to go and I just drive straight into walls. I think my eyesight is getting worse

I never said anything about religion. I do t think religion has anything to do. I do acknowledge there was progress, across the board, in the region at that time across Christain, Muslim, Mongolian, Turkish, and Indian groups, and that’s not including the central Asian empires at the time that we’ve all but forgotten about. Remember the Spice Road was the most important economic highway at the time, bringing enormous wealth to all along it.

Ever notice what happened to regions once naval capabilities made transferring goods by ship more feasible

History is not cut and dry. The decline of the Abbasid caliphate (who is usually associated with this period was weak. The rise of multiple Turkish groups, the crusades, the mongols all at times dominated the abbasids. Ultimately, in think the Seljuk Turks and then the ottoman predecessors were truly the most impactful group on the region.

However, that does not mean that there was not a scientific and trade explosion happening at the time where there was a major crossroad of ideas happening between east and west

Exactly lol

FWIW, if anyone ever plays tabletop RPGs, one of the rulebooks for Pendragon goes into interesting (but exhaustive) dissertations on how Arthurian legend has changed through the years and why and what society was saying for why these changes were made. How courtly love is a perfect example. Lancelot at times I showcased as a villain but at times as a hero and those fit into specific timelines of what courtly love is supposed to represent.

Also, Morgana LeFey is not always a villain. Sometimes she’s a villain who redeems herself. Sometimes she’s just an odd duck doing weird stuff and gets along with people

I think… looking back, it’s been years…. But there is a fundamental misalignment in tone between source material and the movie. I listened to the poem right after the movie and they are just aimed at entirely different demographics.

Think of the green knight poem as a “how to” guide for how chivalrous knights to behave.

The movie decides to have a magical realism take on what if you or I were dropped in this situation, not the person everyone already knows is the greatest

Yes… because there needs to be some accountability. Who will the executive yell at and blame when no one likes their AI slop

I’m good. Edgy about everything right now probably.

I just think it’s the fraternity sections in the upper level that are always late to arrive and first to leave. The lower level student section does its part

What your saying is not relevant when you’re complaining about screens. Shows you don’t pay attention to the fundamental way Georgia operates.

You take what’s given to you. They’re stacking the box. We are trying to spread them out to get them out of the box. We will continue to run the screen game till they adjust. If not, Vanderbilt is in for a long day
