>Once, when discoursing with his disciples, he noted that one of them was totally absorbed in taking notes. Slyly he filled a huge wooden spoon with gruel and threw it as a joke in young note-taker's face. Roaring with laughter, Luther shouted, "Write that down too"
What the hell was his problem Veeky Forums?
Medieval academics weren't very thought out. It's entirely possible Martin Luther didn't understand the value of note taking, probably instead believing that you learn best paying attention to the lecture or something.
The shitposter is always the first to expect another of shitposting.
Imagine how fucking boring being a monk is. You'd probably start chucking food at people for a laugh too
>ywn travel back in time with Nietzsche and beat the shit out of Martin Luther before he can start the restoration
Nietzsche was an emaciated dweeb and Luther would rekt him.
Luther was actually a massive idiot. His disagreements with Aquinas aren't substantive at all, for example, but instead they totally stem from the fact that Luther was too stupid to understand Aquinas.
Witness also his translation of the Vulgate into German. He totally missed the mark by translating "Logos" as "Word." That's not really what it means, but our discourse in the West has been eternally altered by his mistake.
Protestantism was a mistake
I wonder if that young student ever thought that people hundreds of years later would still be talking about what a dick his professor was that one time.
Nah the student probably thought that he was the hotshot that was going to be remembered and his teacher was just a backward white male opressor that was only there to hinder his academic stardom in queer theory in sub saharan african animism.
He sounds like a fun professor

The Vulgate is Latin, not Greek, and Logos means Word in John 1:1, fucktard.

"Writing is unfortunately like painting; for the creations of the painter have the attitude of life, and yet if you ask them a question they preserve a solemn silence. And the same may be said of speeches. You would imagine that they had intelligence, but if you want to know anything and put a question to one of them the speakers always gives one unvarying answer. And when they have been once written down they are tumbled about anywhere among those who may or may not understand them, and know not to whom they should reply, to whom not: and if they are maltreated or abused they have no parent to protect them; and they cannot protect or defend themselves." - Socrates
Logos means a LOT more than "word." We have no equivalent for 'logos' in English/German, at least, not one single word.
Logos has a large semantic domain, yes. but in John 1:1 all it means is Word
The Word is the KJV, the KJV is the infallible word of God and the KJV is God
Fucking nerd got his shit rekt.
Medieval zeitgeist thought great memory was a sign of great intelligence.
Says you. It's entirely possible he was using the Stoic definition given how popular they were at the time and how well it fits the context
What, it's Worms, you retard.
It's Vorms, not Furms
John was written as a polemic against Gnosticism, he would be using the Gnostic definition
>""""theologian"""" who founded all of Protestantism

Explains a lot about Protestantism.
Would've been funny if that old tale of him eating a spoonful of his own shit daily to thank God were true
