This is a fragile point I’m going to make, and I’m sure somebody has made it before me, but the weird thing about knowledge or philosophy or whatever, and I real plenty of history or philosophy, but you can basically get it to say anything you want it to say.
Maybe it’s sort of like, you can’t become wise without reading history, but you can read history without becoming wise.
And it’s kind of weird to me that someone can read hundreds of thousands of pages of history and write thousdans of pages of blog posts, that basically boils down to Anakin sky walker asking, “but, what if the dictator was good”
