Hey, Buddy! A friend called me a couple weeks ago. Not a close friend, more of an acquaintance. She said her family was having this huge barbecue party in the park. She said it was for a bunch of different things, but one of the main thing was her daughter’s fifth birthday. […]
Thought Cancellation Pattern
Middle Age Genius One of the more interesting ideas that happened between the early and high middle ages was the idea of scholasticism. Before, they only had monasticism.
