What is the use of Humanities you say?
Here is the full quote:
Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.
And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness. 
Alcuin c.735–804, English scholar and theologian
@epoz well played!
@epoz
teach STEM, they say over and over and we push back. Why? Because exactly this. Or Sam Bankman-Fried saying that he doesn't read books. Yep, it shows.
@epoz Best to take the ideas on popular rule of someone who lived in feudal Britain as an abbot in the Catholic Church with a large grain of salt, as well.
@HorrorBrew@mastodon.social Totally!
When faced with discussions around the Catholic Church, I always turn to Erasmus... ;-)
