i'm sure the monk wasn't laughing his ass off while erasing.

Yeah, **** those monks, and their reading and writing for destroying all knowledge. Except for the whole "keeping historical chronicles" thing. And all the documents they held on to, including many manuscripts by Archimedes and Aristotle that we wouldn't have if it weren't for monasteries. And the fact that they kept Latin script alive for centuries, unlike many forms of writing. They are a blight on our knowledge!
im pretty sure he was just dumb and didn't know what it was.
I imagine paper wasn't all that available back then. And Archimedies probably didn't write a which he intended others to read, and rather scribbled whatever he thought down on a bunch of papers. **** , even I have problem understanding by own scribbles when I know both the math behind it and what I was trying to achieve. The monk probably only saw a bunch on rubbish that wasted paper and decided it could be put to better use.
Paper was often recycled as it was very expensive. Hell, there were paper shortages up to the start of the industrial revolution. There's also no way he could have known he had an original, he probably thought it was some random copy. To this day people continue to have doubts that the dusty old crap they find lying around is of any worth until they properly try to look it up. In fact, were it not for that monk the book probably would have just sat in some old shelf and rotted to nothing or ended up in some private collection that burned to the ground.
Well, there weren't many things that got copied so widely, especially thousand year old manuscripts. I accept that paper was scarce, but he would've, or should've, known given the age of the book at the time of erasing, which I'm assuming would've been well over 500 years that it was more than some random book and still decided in spite of that fact that his prayers were worth more.
They did hand-copy books back then, it was very rare but still done. Hell, if the monk didn't understand Greek (especially Syracusan Greek that was scribbled in a bunch of messy notes all along it) he probably just thought it was gobbledigook or that someone else had just copied their notes onto someone else's perfectly good book. Sure it must have looked old, but there's no way he could have known it was an authentic book by THE Archimedes. How exactly should he have known? If it took modern people a while to realize that the book was not in fact medieval and was actually ancient how should the monk have known it was 500 years old and not a fifth of that amount of time? Can you honestly tell exactly how old a book is just by looking at it?

Uh paper? You know that in that age they used vellum parchments made from animal skin? He probably didn't know what he was writing over, but I am pretty sure he didn't write over it because of vellum shortage.
They used whatever material they could get their grubby little hands on back then. You know how today libraries will give away or throw old their oldest and dustiest books that don't appear to be worth anything? Well back then they just wrote over those books instead of wasting all that paper.

I sincerely doubt that church, which was main consumer of vellum production, had any actual vellum shortage, simply because there was always need for new material to write on as you say.
Seems much more likely he mistook the material for devil summoning incantation or some **** like that and written prayers all over it to ''exorcise'' it.
But hell, It happened pretty long time ago. It could easily be one way or another.

You do ******* realize that monks were and still are very educated people with a lot of respect for classical philosophy right? You continue to look at this from a modern perspective. Paper was ******* valuable. It was expensive as hell. You don't just reject free paper back then. Palimpsests, or materials that were written over, were ******* everywhere. You know why? Because paper was valuable and people didn't waste it. You really think the church just got you things because you were a monk? Do you even comprehend that there were no centralized supply systems like that back then? Stop thinking in this post industrial revolution mindset of constant supply and instantaneous communication, it's pretty stupid.

Also, of course there were systems of constant supply at that time. Hell, there were even guilds that specialized in upholding quality standards of goods, let alone keeping the manufacturers supplied.
Vellum is practically just leather treated in a certain way, and I am pretty sure that when there was enough leather to make stuff like armor, straps, aprons and smithing gloves, church would ensure there was always enough vellum for monks not only to make books from (which brought money to church as books were pretty expensive business, given by the fact all those books had to be handwritten), but also to learn how to write, as that requires practice as well.

There was no central distributor of vellum products, there was local production of paper, sure, but you act like the church hierarchy then was some sort of rigid machine, it wasn't. Monasteries bought paper from the money they made from tithes, but there were plenty of shortages of paper (including but not limited to vellum, which can be pretty damn frustrating to work with, there's a reason we don't use it anymore). And sometimes you just didn't make enough bank for that much paper. It could be any number of factors, but you need to understand that you didn't just have warehouses where you "put an order in".

Look lets not call it paper okay? Every-time I hear paper when talking about medieval Europe it makes me cringe. Also, if the monk in question was educated, he would have realized what he is erasing and writing over.
Also, knowing how to read and write, while being knowledge not available wide public, were practical skills that can not honestly yet be called proper education. Or more specifically, the monk in question was most likely not educated in that certain field, and thus took the text paper in question for heresy.
I mean come the hell on, your average female villager would be called witch and burned in public just because she knew a thing or two about healing herbs and was one nice neighbor short on her luck.

You know what makes me cringe? The shear level of lies and myths that you believe about Europe during the middle ages. Monks were all learned and made to read and understand Latin because that's what the bible was written in and you couldn't be a monk if you couldn't read your own religious text. They didn't just burn all the ******* books, they preserved them and wrote more books about not just religion, but science and philosophy because the church was giving poor people an education long before the state ever did. And witch hunting wasn't a common practice because the Catholic church actually condemned putting them to death for supposed ills that towns experienced. It wasn't until after the 13th century "new theology"= of Thomas Aquinas and possibly even after the reformation and counter reformation that it became common practice. Where do you get your information? The Gentlesir's Guide to le Euphoric History?

Dude, most monks weren't given any education, let alone common folk. There were scribes (text), illuminators (art and ornamentation), high church officials, priests, and teachers. Those people had actual education. The rest didn't. after all, it is said that only 5% of population of Europe in 1330 was educated. Considering how many monasteries, churches, abbeys and so on there were...well, you do the math.
Monks were mostly simple people living in monastery, working to feed themselves and the above, while also manufacturing and selling goods like alcoholic beverages and food, which is how they gained funds. The church also gained funds tithes and donations, and funds gained from selling their books to nobility.
Monks were taught about god and learned prayers in the same manner as peasantry did, verbally. Priests were the actual people who knew how to write and read those prayers from bible, which is how they taught them monks and common folk.
Also make no mistake, most church estates and their representatives were filthy rich, and something like vellum was cheap business for them, as they had multiple ways to generate income, as well as the favor of nobility and pope.

You do know what a Monastic school is, right?
Monks were the originators of our modern system of higher education. Certain orders did preach simplicity and rejected scholasticism but most didn't. You're quoting ******** statistics I've never heard of and acting as if the church didn't provide educations to those who ented the clergy when it very much did. The church did own a lot of land in total but that was divied up between the bishops and archbishops. The papacy ultimately was able to get a cut of the money those estates made and when put together accounted for a lot but on the local level monasteries cost money to run day to day and add that with the fact that they did a lot of charity work and you can see that it's not exactly swimming in gold. And again, vellum kind of sucks. It's hardly an ideal paper and recycled old book paper was much preferred any day. The fact that this monk could actually write his prayers (no doubt in latin) seems to suggest that he was very much educated. But here's the thing, if you're out in your public library and you desperately need some paper for some reason you might as well pick the dusty old one that nobody reads that's in another language that nobody there can read.

Loads of monks did it, actually. They just had different priorities; and writing materials ain't cheap. They usually scrubbed more useless papers, though.
Don't be a jackass. They preserved classical philosophy, and history two.

Yeah, but only because the Vatican wanting the rest of the people stupid and ignorant

Just with those two things I can tell you are talking out of your ass here. It has nothing to do with "the vatican wanting" **** . Thing is, education was out of most people's hand to the pont that even in Early Medieval Ages, most monks were iliterate. It changed when Charlemagne decided that in order to be a priest, you should be educated so you could educate others (and understand God's teachings) and from that point, every monastery wanted to have a decent-sized library.

Well, there were independent medical doctors in medieval times, but yeah, one of the purposes of the church was to take care of sick and wounded. There was also an order called Hospitaliers, who specialized in providing things like protection and medical aid to European pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem.

"Heretic" was just the favorite word of the time, like terrorist is today, to target people as the enemies so you can basically do whatever you want to them with the consent of people.
The mind control is the same and fear that is programmed into them (subconscious mind) through their parents and society. Example of the beliefs/programms:
-You're not worthy of good things, you must go through pain to cleanse yourself and deserve good.
-You're wrong (original sin)
-you must feel shame and guilt
-if you don't do good (what we tell you) you will go to Hell for an eternity
-feeding superstition in other ways like paying to have your sins removed
Yeah, the Jesuits have influenced the human population through their universities.
What you call higher knowledge is actually **** , primitive knowledge and some faulty theories (i'm mostly aware of the economic ones but some say, for example, the 2nd law of thermodinamics is wrong because it makes it seem as if tho free energy is impossible and super-luminal speed is impossible too)
When the planet is liberated from those controllers we will have real knowledge that involves consciousness and you will see hoe primitively we were living. you just don't have a good point of reference for example, just the manufactured version of history they teach you so you think you're living at the very edge of human progress.

You call the trivium and and the quadrivium "primitive knowledge"? Again, you have no idea what are you talking about. The trivium is a method of critical thinking and the quadrivium are the teachings of arts. You say many theories were faulty back then, but so are many that are coming today and so were many that came before those in the Medieval Ages. Errare humanum est and it has nothing to do with Religion but with our own nature.
Of course there was control by the Catholic authorities to the population, that **** is obvious. Of course many "heretics" weren't but political enemies (see the crusade called to John Lackland). Of course there was a control on the knowledge and even censorship. But they did not seek to "supress" knowledge. They wanted to preserve it and manipulate it. Most of the knowledge was lost not because of Christian intervention, but after the barbarian tribes broke into Rome settled there. Why do you think the "purge" didn't start earlier? Rome was Christian before those amounts of knowledge were lost.
I'm not theologian, you are brining up theology issues to a history matter. Also "I dont have a good reference because I was taught the history they teach me" ******* lel. Now this is when I know I'm talking with a delusional. I "haven't been taught" mindlessly as you want to put it, I've been told to read, I've been told to criticize, I've been told to investigate. I've been told to never say anything for sure. Could I be wrong? For sure. Could you be right? I guess. But the thing is, most sources are backing me up and honestly, you sound like one of those conspiracy theoricals, a person who prefers to believe. You can believe whatever you want, but I won't bother in trying to make you think otherwise because obviously I can't just throw facts at you and expect you to believe them since we are talking about beliefs: your beliefs.

Of course there is. i was born to help in the planetary liberation. which you can do by liberating yourself. do emotional work, most of us are taught to suppress our emotions and literally carry within us a lot of suppressed emotional energy and that affects our ability to feel. also, heal your mind from their mental programs (beliefs).
In short, the greatest way to help in the liberation is to connect with your own inner guidance and rid yourself of everything that isn't you.

You think religions are what's wrong. That religions refrain human potential. Well, guess what? Religions bred states. States brought people together. People together is what have achieved the biggest and most important feats in our history. You may discuss the religious institutions have played an important role in degrading a certain sectors of the population in others' benefit and I won't deny that. But whether you believe or not, religions are the reasons we have states now because religions have given monarchs a "divine persmission" to rule. Everything notorious the mankind has achieved is thanks to the religions you seem to hate that much. You don't know anything.
You are trying so hard to sound smart, you are saying "I could explain to you, but I won't", patronizing me. I'm explaining my position and you are just there, repeating "I wouldn't understand" or that "I wouldn't read it". Well, whatever.

Oh wait, I won't because I actually have sources and knowledge about the topic. Something you don't.

Religions are the main connecting element to people. I'm not an expert yet , I'm just a student but as far as I've read, every single early civilization (and even the subsequent ones) are based on the same main pillars and one of them is the Religion. Since humans are humans, we've had an abstract thinking and a wonder of "what's beyong the physical realm". Religious institutions have taken advantage of that need in most humans of believing in something and have used it to connect people, to make people feel they belong to something. Soon, those institutions will give "permission" (for example saying "god wills this guy to be the ruler) to monarchs to rule, and that's how the first states are born I'm sorry if I'm not explaining myself too well but it's kind of hard to explain since English is not my native language . Is it a evolutionary step? I wouldn't say so, but it is a step forward to a more complex social organization. Without relgion and religious institutions, we probably would be still living in small villages of farmers.

Okay, here's the kicker.
We're all The Creator. we all have creative potential. We're Physical Angels. We're heirs of grace.
Humanity and the whole planet was taken over by negative extraterresrial that were invited since the times of Atlantis.
We could all be living in a society with free enrgy in which we recognize that we are all One and the same,literally, and so live in the planet as a family. Live along with nature, cause we're nature and we're wearing the planet (our bodies) and living in harmony with animals, and actually helping improve the conditions of nature itself, since, just like we've used our creative potential to destroy it, we can also enhance it like the rest of the animals do.
There ha been progress made by the people who saught to bring Light into the planet. But we're operating from a disempowered state. we're a traumatized species with amnesia.
What you're seeing right now in Syria is a proxy war. US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel, the negative rulers of those countries and their slaves will be removed from power. There's an alliance on Earth looking to liberate us from the debt-money financial system slavery.
There's also already a Secret Space Program right now in which they have healing technologies that could benefit all of humanity, the technology to travel through or solar System and beyond and give free energy to all. Lack as we know it in this planet is an artificial construct.
There are ETs and a lot of them are humans or humanoid and they've been part of Humanity's history since it's inception.
The things you can more easily find proof of in the net, are the financial system slavery
It's inevitable collapse
UFO topic being suppresed and ridiculed. Whistleblower statements of government dealings with Ets both positive and negative
Secret Space Program (which originate din germany in the 1930s with the Thule Society) and then continued in the US thanks to project paperclip.

There's also already a Secret Space Program right now in which they have healing technologies that could benefit all of humanity, the technology to travel through or solar System and beyond and give free energy to all. Lack as we know it in this planet is an artificial construct.
There are ETs and a lot of them are humans or humanoid and they've been part of Humanity's history since it's inception.
The things you can more easily find proof of in the net, are the financial system slavery
It's inevitable collapse
UFO topic being suppresed and ridiculed. Whistleblower statements of government dealings with Ets both positive and negative
Secret Space Program (which originate din germany in the 1930s with the Thule Society) and then continued in the US thanks to project paperclip.
Let me guess, you think Aliens built the pyramids too, right?

You are hilarious. You are talking like a metaphysical philosopher. And you want to know what happens to metaphysical philosophy? It brought no real knowledge even when it's much older than science.
How do we know we exist by the way? Why can't we be in a virtual world like Matrix? Why yes, I'd like some evidence backing up our existance. All of us.
Also, personal experience is not flawless.

Want an example that you're consciousness? You are aware. you're gonna say that's your brain but science doesn't know that. they suppose, but can't even prove it. Why? because consciousness sin't generated in the brain. Like someone said, it's like trying to look for the radio announcer inside of the radio itself.

Science hasn't been able to find consciousness in the brain because the brain doesn't generate consciousness.

If you don't go with the accepted truth, you risk losing your reputation, just by talking about taboo subjects.
Watch "The Science Delusion" it's a Ted talk. I'm not saying there's no merit to the scientific method. But it's not perfect.

"I feel I was ready. I feel I was meeting the truth" Now you are talking as someone who has embraced a faith. How ironic someone who shat on religion so much happens to be a person of faith. But I am not. I need proofs and a nice fairy tail and a couple of theories and patterns won't work. Have fun with your faith, if it floats your boat good for you.
A big difference between you and me is, you know the truth. I never claimed I do. You say what I "believe" is not the truth, and I say that what you believe might be the truth, I just happen not to believe it because it lacks a scientific base. I'm someone who constantly doubts of everything and deals with the information who has at the moment (so I might change my opinion, and probably will, in the future) and you have found your truth. You, my friend, are a religious person.

I'm not a person of faith. I've seen my true nature is consciousness, not even mind. Pure, infinite, eternal, awareness.
I'm not "actively trying not to believe". I just don't see the sense in their explanations, it sounds like a belief with no scientific base whatsoever. Does it sound good? I guess. But it's not science. It's just a made up metaphysical explanation. Do you believe that? It's great. But don't try to make it look as science because it's not.
Also, you are the one trying to persuade me. You are the one enlighting me. Why should I be the one googling about information? You are the one who understand, shouldn't you be the one sending me the sources that better explain it?

I've watched the video and:
1. It basically uses math to create a pattern. Cool. That's the only "science" there is. The interpretations of what it means and how it was formed are completely made up and it's just another belief, just as religion could be (in fact, it quotes the Bible)
2. Most of the assumptions the video does (it was known by other civilizations) are basically followed by a random picture as a "proof" but I don't see any kind of link to an external work that explains how do they say those ancient civilizations knew about it nor whatever the meaning they could attribute to that pattern.
And again, I repeat: even if all this was true, it still doesn't explain why pyramids weren't tombs. It. Has. Nothing. To. Do. With. It.

"the flower of life" is basically a new age belief. There's no proof of its existance. That video you showed me proves nothing because it's just a "imagine X is like this". It's the opposite of a scientific statement. Maybe science is not perfect, but for now it's the best we got and all I'm hearing in that video is someone who discovered a pattern and interpretates it as something meaningful. And for that, quotes the Bible to make up statements. You believe in that? That's cool, I won't meddle in that. But it's just a belief. It's not science.

Of course it's based on advanced geometry and mathematics, there's no way ancient egyptians could've built pyramids without those knowledges, I never claimed otherwise. But "sacred geometry"? That's just a cool made up term used for an advanced knowledge of sciences by the egyptians.

Internet hoaxes can be very convincing sometimes. I read through some of this "Secret Space Program" you talked about in other comments. Almost believable, though it would make a better sci-fi book than an actual worldview. How the official source kept comparing it to "Battlestar Galactica" and "Star Trek" made me realize how much of a fantasy world he is living in, OR how well he is manipulating the foolish people who believe him.

The Matrix is a great example of this, it uses a movie, a fictitious situation to explain the control syste of our world. As V puts it "an artist uses lies to tell the truth".

Because there are positive factions and the lower people don't know what the plan is. It could either be that some positive person wanted to talk about those bell aircraft. Oooor, the people who want them secret realized that they had to sacrifice exposing the most obvious and known part of it and say "I know about it. They did have beel aircraft but it never flew properly and everything was confiscated".
Or it could be more negative faction propaganda? Anything could be negative or positive faction propaganda.

The Bible was wrote by those seeking to control humanity.
The concept goes something like this.
imagine you created little soldiers made of dirth, and you wanted to explore their perspective. you have 3 soldiers. You "extend" 3 points of your consciousness and "put it" inside the soldiers.
now they're alive. They are you. It's you but from a smaller perspective. Each one of them would think of themselves as individuals. they wouldn't remember who they are as you. they would have their own experience and point of view.
At the same time, everything that "they" are experiencing, you're experiencing, because it is your own consciousness.
There's only ONE consciousness. One source. And we're all it, having different experiences.
That's why the GOLDEN RULE has always been in all religions "do onto others as you would have done onto you" because they ARE you.

If undeniable fact, can you prove it with sources rather than your words? Any source/link/book/whatever will be acceptable.

The sources I could use, I guess would be ancient texts. I think Tibetan buddhists have this experience as well through meditation.
Science hasn't been able to discover consciousness in the brain cause it isn't there. but there hasn't been anyone who has been capable of proving it. How would you prove it?
I guess a way would be through DMT. Check Rick Strassman research. the famous "DMT: The Spirit Molecule".
Another way would be the work of Dr. Michael Newton, who through adanced regression therpy was able to access the memory of the soul and have very different subjects (age, nationality, beliefs) all have report back to him that there's indeed a "life between lives".
That proofs the existence of the soul (but that's consciousness with a light body). i guess you'd have to be in the sessions yourself to KNOW he is telling the truth but, my point is that from my perspective, his research validates what I experienced.

Well... inone moment, which was the great realization that I'm consciousness, every false layer of who I believed I was was peeled back. I realize I could've been born with different parents, body, circumstances, everything could change in my life, and yet, there'd still be a constant.
The obsession was to find me, me, me (yo). to be with me, actually.
At what point I had stopped thinking of what the other people where thinking about me, which I wanted to stop and a voice in my head said "you've done it. now you've become part of a special group of intellectuals" something along those lines.
BUT, I recognized the trap. I said NO! why must I always need to try and attach myself to something else, bigger, to feel value? I just want to be me, me, me!
And then it was as if I had broken through or become separated from something invisible and felt completely at peace. I realized I was just a point of consciousness. a point of awareness. That was my real nature. Even my mind was not me, it was just an intrument and thoughts colored the experience with different flavors, but it was just the means for my awareness to have an experience.
I walked out the door and returned with my friends and they were all amazed in my change, they told me even tho they didn't really now what happened. Most curiously also, was that now they were fightng for my attention, and I was just sitting there being completely and naturally at peace.I tell oyu you could've cut off my ar and I would've realized it wasn't me so I wouldn't have suffered. Who knows about the pain, but at least I would know it isn't really me and I'm not being destroyed.
I can't. i can't be divided, cut, destroyed, change. i'm infinite and eternal and that's the great mystery. What pure awareness and consciousness actually is.
Another time it was less extreme but I realized the nature of the NOW. tHAT IT IS ALWAYS NOW AND THE NOW IS ALWAYS IN CREATION (caps came on their own). It's always now now now now now now now and just as this points create a line:
................................................................................ ............................................
So to it appears that things that aren't moving are still or they aren't changing while the things that move are changing but that's not true, everything is being created anew in the eternal NOW. So, I realized that the ida of me was just a story I was dragging along from now moment to now moment because it wsn't something that was, intrinsically, of the moment. it was something I carried with me, like a girl running with a kite stringed to her arm.
It was curious that that time I immediatly said "oh, it's god that I'm no longer him" referring to being me, because I realized how heavy I had been, all the weight I'd been carrying. Past failures that needed to be set right and lots of stuff.

Oh. That we're all consciousness? FACT. Experienced it. Came out of it, though. But you can never truly forget it. Like, right now if you cut my hand I'd go into panic because I'd feel I'm dying even tough it's my human mind giving me that experience. At that moment, I swear you could've taken my arm and I'd be cool because i realized that if it can be taken away then it's not me.
That we're all the same one consciousness. at first I felt it. I just new we were all one. when that feeling disappeared I started to think about it and I realized that it made more sense.
It is not something that can be taught. for example, all the people saying "Namaste" that write "it means I honor your divinity" have no ******* clue of what divinity is.
The divine self is the eternal and infinite self. the real one. And it's all of us. Being the peson you're now is like a dream. Like when in Rick and Morty they play the game... "Rob" was it called?

You're an idiot. i can't talk to an idiot. The lightsabers and quest of the ringt are props, you idiot. The essence is the journey. the ring is the representation of power and how it corrupts people.
If you can't understand something so basic then there's no wonder the rest goes over your head.
Eat better and do more exercise and meditate and do emotional work and you'll become more perceptive, maybe it needs cleaning.

It amazed me because it was a very stupid thing to say. How you mentioned lightsabers and the ring.
Of course i'm not using the matrix to say we're living inside a computer. That's a literal interpretation.

It is something that is going on, and it's not just the internet that has given me this information. (BTW, people seem to forget people is free access to ALL types of information. There's truth in it and also a lot of lies that are spread by intelligence agencies in order to muddle the waters. Once you cannot suppress the flow of information you can over-saturate it)
The Nazi Secret Space Program is only a secret in how much it was extended, but the bell-shaped aircraft they had has appeared on the discovery channel. They just didn't go into what they were doing in antarctica, and later how the work ws continued in the US with the nazis brought over through project Paperclip.

Actually, universities came to be in medieval times as state-run enterprises that allowed wealthy to gain education that allowed them to pursue positions of greater importance than what apprenticeships allowed.
The base for universities were libraries of church, (more like an inspiration, to have a place to gather, pass and concentrate knowledge) but by the time universities came to be called universities, they were pretty much enterprises independent from church, although theology was one of the subjects taught at all and every single university.
The fact is that Church tried to destroy any knowledge and theories that could potentially shaken the foundation of its teachings.

I forgot to say that Barbarossa was also important but as you can see, the Pope Alexander III also backed up. If it wasn't by him, that wouldn't have been possible.

Well, he isn't entirely wrong though. They burned people for saying that the earth is round and that the sun is the center of our solar system, along with calling stuff like herbology witchcraft.
Also, I never claimed they didn't "censor" nor "control" knowledge. What I'm saying here is they sure did not want to "suppress" knowledge as a whole. That's retarded.

I mean yeah, you are not technically wrong, but most of their so called education extended only mostly on languages, reading writing and theology. Subjects like astrology and just about any knowledge that could threaten the fundamentals of theology were still closely controlled, and ideas and theories of those topics were often called heresy by church.
Oppression and threatening free thinkers is still called suppression of knowledge in my book. I call that censorship.

Not at all, even when it wasn't against christian canon, the interest towards eastern medicine and other issues, that may be considered "heretic" by the most purists, growed at a very important rate. The thing is, we tend to consider the society as a monolitic entity and we have to understand that it was not.
I'm not trying to say the Medieval times was a paradise for the free thinking whatsoever, but it was not as oppresive as one could think.

I might be wrong but I'm almost 100% sure nobody got burned by saying the earth was round. Excommunicated? I believe so. Threatened? Yeah. Burned? I'm almost sure it was not the case.

chopping wood increases testosterone.
while not false, it is seems to be anecdotal fact.
ANY activity will boost test.
Any boost is temporary - from hours to a day.
Explosive movements, that require strength and coordination boost the most test, as the brain, overwhelmed with keeping balance/technique tries to compensate signals that would otherwise use brainpower and produce testosterone to boost strength.
You can try this trick to feel more confident anytime you want thanks to increased test (sorry ladies, you can do the ame but effect will be minimal, due to you lacking balls and strong testosterone presence in body)
- do jumping jacks - jump straight up and pull your knees to your chest. repeat 3 sets of 20. Rest few minutes.
You will for the next few hours feel better, stronger, more confident and be more sexually active.

Lol as if a 48% increase will make you feel more confident, unless you're hypogondal/central deficit.
The biggest increase in test comes from shooting it up your ventro :^)
