- DanHulton 1mo agoNot saying this is what’s going on, but you can ABSOLUTELY have nostalgia for a time that wasn’t your own, too.
- robinpie 1mo agoOh yeah absolutely
- jimmygrapes 1mo agoI suppose I could ask elsewhere but do you (or does anyone else) have a word/term for this?
- tech2 1mo agoAnemoia is the term, I believe, and an almost perfect fit (nostalgia for a time you have never experienced)
- jasonfarnon 1mo agoThat's fine. Based on my recollection I don't agree with your thesis (or think it's at least greatly exaggerated) but reading source documents from the past and advancing an argument is solid history scholarship.
- trevithick 1mo agoBut you are a "high-computer-skill" person. Also, the lazy sysadmin forgot to set a quote for today.
