I’ve become interested in the question of when, and why, some countries don’t adopt the technologies of their near-neighbours — especially when they have significant diplomatic and commercial ties.
A quick one related to the topic: Why didn't the Byzantines learn to make paper. The Chinese did. The Arabs did. The Westerners too. The Eastern Romans though, nada.
Great question. I was not aware of that, and will look into it. In fact, paper production, or the absence thereof, is likely to feature prominently in my follow-up post.
Good morning, Dr Howes.

I really enjoyed this, thanks!
The reason the Sunni-Shia of Abu Bakr and the Saqifa cult 11 after hijra wanted to ban the printing press was to stop humanity and muslims learning about shia of Ali peace be upon him and the satanic Abu Bakr and Umar lies and murder of the family of the prophet. THIS is the ONLY reason and any other lie regarding this matter is false. The muder of Imam Hussain peace be upon him exposed the satanic Abu Bakr and Umar sect thoroughly and printing and sharing this knowledge would have ruined the ottoman satanic empire much earlier. In regards to AI I have destroyed the chatgpt and Google Gemini Sunni bias and the screenshots from the session are presented in this paper. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/382392345_A_SHIA_ALIAS_CONVERT_SPEAKS_THE_PERFECT_ANALOGY_OF_SATANIC_AI_IN_THE_CONTEXT_OF_SUNNI-SHIA_POLEMICS_AND_THE_2_SATANIC_WITCHES_AISHA_AND_HAFSA_MAY_ALLAH_CURSE_THEM_AND_THE_SHIA_OF_ABU_BAKR_AND_UMAR_MAY
