The Second Dark Ages were an era where warfare and religion took precedence over science. Religion emphasizes faith, not reason. Great minds are not necessarily limited to talking about the economy and the price of gas on Facebook; as individual members of the human race, they are often concerned with matters of both personal morality and political philosophy. If they ask such questions and speak out, they are a threat to rouse the people. George W. Bush made it a "thought crime" to criticize the United States of America in any shape or form. Even private e-mails and telephone calls could be used to convict "potential terrorists."
