- hef19898 3y agoThe worst historical accounts, if lookrd at without context, are first hand ones... Those are the most selective and subjective takes you can have.

- mistermann 3y agoIs "the reality anyone knows" not also part of greater aggregate reality though (conflicting with reality is true), or is it an ontological component of something else?
