HST 111 Lecture Notes - Lecture 22: Lunar Society Of Birmingham, Freemasonry, Caffeine
Document Summary
Coffee shops become places where people spread and talk about. News is also new in it of itself. People now talk about what was once considered the king"s. Clubs started: lunar society people would look at the moon, the molly"s men who liked to wear women"s clothing, free masons. The drink is foreign and associated with islam. Men used to have beer before work and kept drinking. No longer happens when they drink coffee. Coffee is seen as a social drink. Great project to categorize and save human knowledge. Believed knowledge was cyclical, and eventually people would have to start over if everything is recorded, you won"t have to start from ground zero. This establishes knowledge and lets your know how its related. Cross-referencing was used to get around censors. They would right articles about far away places, but it would actually be about the local area (christianity localized religion) Would say things like: catholic see cannibalism .
