It is Sunday so you know your girl is wound up about this terrible take which a) is historically inaccurate, but b) does inadvertently show one of the main reasons why medieval history is mischaracterised and ignored - imperial apologism.

First of all, John, my man, that is not what the Dark Ages means. Like my shirt says - it is a name referring to a lack of sources rather than intellectual decline. https://going-medieval.com/2017/05/26/theres-no-such-thing-as-the-dark-ages-but-ok/

Second of all, there was no "rejection of science and critical thinking" in the medieval period? Do you... think that Romans had workable medicine or something and that medieval people "rejected" it? I think maybe you have confused Castlevania with history https://going-medieval.com/2019/11/05/jfc-calm-down-about-the-medieval-church/
