Spain could have been a scientific superpower; but the Reconquista brought them intellectual & infrastructural ruin.

did you know that after the fall of Granada in 1492, the inbred monarchy and royalty of Spain spent the next 406 years getting rid of the people who built the physical & intellectual infrastructure that made them an imperial power? the last big expulsión was in 1898, right before the break of the Spanish-American war.

xenophobia makes people, and whole nations, dumb.
