“I thank God that there are no free schools nor printing, and I hope we shall never
have these [for] a hundred years; learning has brought disobedience and heresy and sects into the world and print has divulged
them… God keep us from both.”

have these [for] a hundred years; learning has brought disobedience and heresy and
sects into the world and print has divulged them… God keep us from both.”

the question I’m interested in: what happens when
society suddenly has access to a buttload of
new information?
![Page 5: T SC 341 Presenation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c444c1a28abe70b8b4620/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
the question I’m interested in: what happens when
society suddenly has access to a buttload of
new information?
(or when information is distributed in a radically
different way)

easiest way to answer this: use the precedent set by
the Gutenbergian printing press.

my goal:

my goal:not political philosophy,
![Page 9: T SC 341 Presenation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c444c1a28abe70b8b4620/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
my goal:not political philosophy,
merely history.

“he who does not know how to write imagines it to be no labour, but although these fingers only hold the
pen, the whole body
grows weary.”

“printing was valued not only for efficiently replicating the writings of the church fathers, but also for enabling the
Roman Church to raise money quickly, for serving an aid to conversion, and for demonstrating Western Christendom’s
superiority to the infidel... as early as 1452 [the church] had authorized the printing of thousands of indulgences... to
raise money for the crusade against the Turks.”
-- Eisenstein

“the Roman church that had initially welcomed the divine art became much more ambivalent about the invention after
Protestant revolt.”

“As if to offer proof that God has chose us to accomplish a special mission, there was
invented in our land a marvelous, new, and subtle art, the art of printing. Each man
became eager for knowledge, not without feeling a sense of amazement at his former
blindness.”

“Representation... may be considered a new invention, unknown [prior to the 18th
century]; it was almost impossible to put into practice before the invention of printing, which so
much facilitates the communication between the
constitutes and the representative, and renders it so easy for the
former to control, and the latter to account for his conduct…”
