Could someone explain to me again how Aristotle caused the technological

Is this bait?

Medieval technological inventions include clocks, watermills, gothic architecture, iron ploughs, cannons, vertical windmills, a vast expansion of water-powered mechanisation, tidal mills, mechanical trip hammers, blast furnaces, stern rudders, weight driven clocks, metal rolling mills, treadle-operated vertical looms, steel span crossbows, artesian drilling, chimneys, treadmill cranes, harbour cranes, floating cranes, mast cranes, oil paints, the hourglass, the compound crank, waterpowered paper mills, the dry compass, the astronomical compass, the nocturnal, the albion and the altitudinal dial.

Oh, and the fucking printing press

You are saying the spread of technology was faster in the dark ages than during the classical era, correct?

That makes no sense. How is Aristotle responsible for the technological stop of a civilization centuries removed from his own? It's not his fault they treated him as a prophet and didn't advance scientific knowledge beyond what he had made, when he laid down the foundations for them. Did Newton stop the development of quantum physics or Copernicus and Galileo delay the discovery of the Big Bang theory?

I couldn't possibly make that judgment, but I am saying that the medieval era had a whole host of technological innovations and there was no stagnation to speak of except for a brief period from the 6th century to the 9th

The claim that there was a "technological stop" in the middle ages is absolutely baffling. No historian would ever agree with something like that.

>technological stop of the middleages
There was no stop of technology in the middle ages. Everything from steel plows to water mills to improved saws to better ships were all pioneered in the middle ages. This meme is really fucking annoying.

It's hard to compare the two objectively. I wonder if some sort of quantitative analysis of that could be done.
