Its fucked up that Ulysses S. Grant is still remembered as an alcoholic even though he was a teetotaler for the entire war, and not only did he not drink he allegedly didnt swear even once during the whole war and was beloved by almost everyone who came into contact with him

Grant literally had an aide who said he would only work for him if he completely abstained from alcohol, which terms he agreed to.

The meta theme of every christmas movie is the eternality of christmas beyond any historical context, this is why every christmas movie takes place in a world of fanciful magic where no one knows about Christianity and in the end someone says "christmas is about what it is about"

The meme that guys think about the roman empire every day is so clearly false that you realize you can just Mandela effect any fact into existence. What part of the Roman Empire were people thinking about? Could one person in a hundred tell you anything about the tetrarchy?

It's fascinating that Christopher Alexander ignored basically all the real pattern languages that had been built up and passed down over centuries via e.g. medieval masonry guilds practicing gothic sacred geometry in favor of dirt floors and thatched roofs. Hobbit mindset.
