I almost gave up on this after the first couple of paragraphs but I’m glad I stuck with it. It’s an interesting perspective.

I’ll recommend on old book I randomly found a couple years ago: We Took to the Woods. It was surprisingly fascinating.

"The average ancient historian led troops, tutored a prince, governed a province, advised a king, made a fortune, fell from favor, was exiled, and buried 7 of their 10 children. The average modern historian passed a few tests then wrote a book on their laptop next to their cat." so good!
