Happy National Dunce Day
John Duns Scotus was a Scottish priest and Franciscan friar, university professor, philosopher, theologian, author and advisor to the king.
He was well regarded, influential and considered one of the top minds of his day( even if you have never heard of his work)
Even in the 1200s he wrote and taught about cutting edge ideas, even verging on laws of physics and quantum mechanics.
He did have some brilliant ideas but also some unusual , convoluted ideas.
Like students wearing a cone shaped cap would help capture and funnel the knowledge down toward their brain. Thus born what later came to be known as the Dunce Cap.
Despite his high standing and immense body of work, he eventually fell out of favor and at one point was even expelled from France in a disagreement between the King and the Pope.
