Gallileo was a egotist who made his own problems. They just wanted him to get proof before he published. Which he didn't have. The problem wasn't his theory, it was being as asshole about it.
Now everybody believes in fake science and orderly proof has been replaced with a popularity contest. Is this better?
Is your problem with chivalry because of feminism? If so, I agree. All that sir lancalot adulterous "courtly love" bullcrap is not real chivalry. The real thing was literally a Christian code of conduct for soldiers. It's that simple.
Check out "In Praise of the New Knighthood" by St. Bernard of Clairvaux. 1126. Written for the Knights Templar. That's the real thing.
BTW, fun fact, St Nicholas was a real guy and Arius certainly found out how real he was when he smacked the blasphemy out of his mouth at Ephisus.
And he actually did sneak into a guy's house once to leave gifts. It was doweries for the old widdower's daughters so they didn't end up as prostitutes. Based guy. Not currently riding around with flying reindeer however.
