History for the lazy

Rating: 6/10 (20 March 2020)

Outdated, erroneous, inauthentic, unrealistic narratives that attempt to force the simplified telling of the fallacy of 'the chosen one', 'the one who ruled them all'.
Every area of history for no other reason than we still prefer our stories nice and linear, with clear heroes and villains.
History told for the masses does great damage, as many will view this as fact.
The truth is behind all the worlds great epochs, inventions, innovations, breakthroughs and so forth are almost exclusively the work of a group of people.
The one thing that derives from a single person is religion, cults and systems that promise to fix and save us from that which it cannot.
