playlist to study like a medieval philosopher having the truth revealed by divine grace
@sabbatical Working along with this quietly in the background is like what working as a scribe in a medeival monastary must have been like.
Or maybe not because everyone would have been pray-chanting together.
@levisan hah yeah. well in some orders maybe it could happen. saw a doc about a monastery on mt. sinai a while back and thought… that could be a nice life. you ever read a canticle for leibowitz?
@sabbatical Quite possibly my favourite sci-fi novel!
@levisan nice, top of the pile for me too. love that sort of setting. just re-read anathem which is of course very different but kinda scratches the same itch. wish i knew of more like it!
@levisan did we talk about this already? hah i think we might’ve
@sabbatical Now that you mention it, totally!
I totally forgot about Anathem… loved that book back when it came out. You're right, a bit of the same thing going on
