Here is the monk in action, dealing with fools...

a monk with eyeglasses

The year is 1518, and this monk is wearing one of these fancy eyeglasses of the past - without temples! How did they manage?

Fire that guy!

That’s great!

„Misreading and non-understanding will be your expertise too!“

Great image, with bonus points for the books on the floor. #bookhistory

„Guided by fools is our slogan since forever. Join the team!“

"Get our 'FoolTool' reading assistance now, and master idiotic literacy like never before!"

On my academic bucket list: publish an empty book (with a fancy title) about a topic I want to write about but haven’t yet found time to do so. Make it 400 pages and footnotes. #academicchatter
