- Thiez 2y agoSure. This is just Great Man theory [1] in action. It's a bit absurd, once you know about it you see it everywhere. It's especially distasteful when it's about people who 'discovered' places, because the next step was usually the subjugation or genocide of the people already living in the discovered place. But we still celebrate the explorers as heroes. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_man_theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_man_theory
