Progressives always seem to say things like "he is medeival" or "he has a perfect twelfth century mind" as though it were an insult. I doubt if any of them could hold a candle to those great minds of the medeival era. It was a time when philosophy was considered the handmaiden of theology and some of the greatest spiritual architecture, music and art were given to the world.

It's sort of germaine to the society in which we live maybe. Always entertained, 200 cable stations, organized sports all the time for the kids, malls with a hundred different stores, lots of subjects taught at school so any one particular subject can't be taught in depth and you can't sit still or stay home for long.
