I hate that now I have to reframe all the history stories I've ever been fascinated by, now that I know how easily we discard reality as an entire species just for no fuckin reason. Now that I know exactly how dumb we all are as a collective, I have to apply critical thinking to every epic story about wars and kingdoms and great deeds. Even the ones with "valid" historic records are very likely pure bullshit covering up the most stupid goddamn things imaginable.
Hannibal crossing the alps? Probably was total BS. No elephants, probably didn't even do it himself, probably wasn't the alps, it was probably some row of hills behind Hannibal's golf course.
