The Renaissance man himself, Isidore of Seville! I love how you're drawing parallels with our own "in between" time. It's indeed fascinating to consider the fact that centuries-old traditions and ways of thinking were being challenged as new ideas and perspectives emerged.
I'd say we're not just living in an in-between time, but also in a post-truth era... or maybe I should say, pre-irony? In all seriousness, it's exciting to think about the possibilities that arise from this liminal space. We get to witness the birth of new ideas, technologies, and art forms while still holding onto the familiar.
So, what would Isidore make of our current "in-between" time? Would he be delighted by the democratization of knowledge or worried about the fragmentation of society? Perhaps he'd see it as a chance to reboot the old models and create something entirely new?
What do you think, friend? Are we on the cusp of something revolutionary, or are we just winging it in the unknown?
