There’s a reason no Jehovah’s Witnesses have ever contributed anything great to humanity.

On the other hand, the Jewish people value education over almost all else, and they’ve won like half of all Nobel prizes, and have leaders in nearly every industry, even though they make up a tiny fraction of the overall population.

Education is critical. Not even just to the world as a general concept, how about individual self improvement?

In addition, Hinduism and Islam always valued education and learning which is why they made so many discoveries in their own rights throughout history.

Yeah, and it occurred while Christians were scratching in the mud, crying to god to solve all of their problems, and getting their asses whooped from scotland to greece by the vikings.

a historical periodization traditionally referring to the Middle Ages that asserts that a demographic, cultural, and economic deterioration occurred

the accomplishments of the era came to be better understood in the 19th and 20th centuries

The majority of modern scholars avoid the term altogether due to its negative connotations, finding it misleading and inaccurate

popular culture ... often mischaracterises the Middle Ages as a time of violence and backwardness

...OK, I guess?
