I would have to argue with your point about the Renaissance not happening because people didn't talk about it, if you think about it ofcourse people might not have known it was happening it wasn't a once off event like the Battle of Hastings where people where like whoa there's something we haven't exactly seen before lets talk about it, it was the way their own daily lives had become and we looking back just see a difference in the way it had been before and the way it had been after and also as you said it was a minute population of people it affected. Take the insular celts for example they weren't exactly talking about being Gaelicised it was just happening slowly and became their way of life. Or Ptolemaic Egypt albeit maybe they talked about originally being taken over but they had already been taken over by other kingdoms so they might have been used to the idea. I'm not saying you're wrong however it is a little difficult to prove and as you said for most people it was pretty much still the middle ages with poverty being more common than distributed wealth. Also as per usual great video and thanks for teaching me a thing or two.

John I would have to disagree with you on the -Richest of the rich- thing. What mainly defined renaissance ENGLAND was the writing of the Jacobeans (Thomas Middleton and Ben Jonson etc, Thomas Moore and Christopher Marlowe which all directly influenced Shakespeare, the objectively greatest playwright of all time. What was so great about this explosion of plays and music was that the largely uneducated middle and lower classes were able to enjoy entertainment for the first time on a large scale. So in many ways the literary and theatrical renaissance helped to minutely close the gap between rich and poor (in 16th century England.

There's a lot of hate for Aristotle from John Green. But let's give the man his due. He was wrong about a lot, but he was right, or had informative things to say, about ethics, logic, metaphysics, causality, and rhetoric, among other fields.
