Closest thing that comes to mind is the temple moneychangers…

I think that would be the closest hing to politician in those days. Ofc it would be better to whip, like, some prince or whatever but they never leave their castle because people might get funny ideas involving whips.

This is one of the many insurance companies operating in Canada that have been making records this year by lobbying the government with about 25 million dollars, almost triple the amount of any year previous. By doing so they have successfully put brakes on the budget for pharmacare. The link above can explain the issue a lot better than me.

Look, sorry, but your comment reads like you're pushing a pseudo-historical conspiracy theory. This particular book was made with sheep skin and all books created in Europe prior to the ~1200's were created in a similar fashion. Sure, people might have been able to read words like "Blacksmith" and "Sign Here" (where they would put an X as they didn't usually know show to write their names), but I wouldn't consider that as literate; and they wouldn't ever have the chance to learn how to read because all the books would be locked up in the chain libraries and the only people allowed to access them were nobles and church officials.

I'm not saying they were stupid, all human beings have the means to learn to read and write if given a chance, but back then there was no chance unless you joined the church or were born to a noble family simply because books were incredibly expensive and rare.

I would've licked your toes anyways, but thanks none-the-less.

hehehehe

This is how you appraise livestock.

Funny you should mention that, the earliest known census-like record is the Domesday Book where surfs and other people that weren't of noble heritage were tabulated in the same way as ploughs, oxen, etc. This book was completed in 1086.

It also serves as an insight into a world, and indeed, contemporary world-view (neo-liberals and human resources), that the only people worth noting down are the ones with power and money. The individual simply didn't exist in recorded history until the printing press came about and changed everything. The only way someone could learn what was going on in the world was what they were told, since no one could read and the only people that were taught how to read were nobles and priests since books back then usually cost multitude more then the building they were stored in.

Of course they do...
