MODERATORS
People didn't just laugh at those ideas, they actively punished the people who proposed them.
Execution is punishment? 🧐
Would you consider it a reward?
Pros and cons.
Well you don't have to witness utter morons destroying the planet...
WHAT?
WHY?!
Because change is costly and therefore a risk. When it seems that resources are scarce, risks are dangerous, and it can seem rational to destroy ideas that cost more resources, lest your imagined model of society collapse for lack of resources as the idea takes over.
It's always conservatism, in other words.
Let's not take the religious aspects out of it though.
The church said earth was the center so saying the sun was the center was going against the church which was blasphemy. Blasphemy punishable by lifelong imprisonment or death.
Likely both as dungeons weren't exactly life friendly.
Because many considered any change to be an affront to Gods will. So they killed free-thinkers to prove God infallible
Because they challenged the notion that mankind is the center of and purpose for the universe.
