Collapse Rightists Aren't Hierarchical, Venerable Bede Edition

 "The Venerable Bede, in the eighth century, was also rightly considered the most learned man in Europe; his idea of a hard problem was determining the date of Easter."

 Today, the most learnéd men are consumed with attempting to find a definition of [woman]. The difference is that the learning still exists. They could learn. They simply choose not to, and their audience chooses not to demand better.

 "It was becoming progressively easier to become the most learned Man of one's time."

 

 Who is more learnéd than you? Who is above you in the hierarchy? Don't tell me - tell him.
