“Study the historian before you begin to study the facts.” - E.H. Carr

If you'd like to know more about Ancient Roman racism (if you don't, you're a lunatic) then I highly-recommend Bejamin Isaac's "The Invention of Racism in Classical Antiquity". Rome: an Empire of Many Nations is also excellent, but slightly less relevant.

I've been taking a break and reading a bit on the philosophy of history. This is sorta a result of that. E.H. Carr's "What is History" has been very compelling, but if you want a shorter read, "The Landscape of History" by John Lewis Gladdis is great!

Regardless, I hope this didn't feel like some YouTuber drama hit-piece. On one hand, we both have cartoon profile pictures and it's a small part in an older video. But on the other?

“I am reminded of Housman's remark that 'accuracy is a duty, not a virtue.' To praise a historian for his accuracy is like praising an architect for using well-seasoned timber or properly mixed concrete in his building. It is a necessary condition of his work, but not his essential function.” - E.H. Carr

(I promise I've read other things on the philosophy of history, it's just that Gladdis and David Hackett Fischer aren't as quotable)

Honestly my methods with those old Rome videos were such garbage I'm lucky I didn't get stuff SUPER wrong. I think mesoamerican history will kick your teeth in if you're not diligent, and it really made me reflect on this work and how seriously I should take it (behind the scenes). Honestly AltHistoryHub deserves an ACTUAL takedown for his garbage Aztec video, but he basically just spit out a bunch of myths and nonsense that it took me three hours to untangle ALREADY so if someone could just strap him into a Clockwork Orange-thing and make him watch my madness that would be great because his video makes me angry and I don't know how to address it without just saying the same stuff again.

Anyway, I was serious about the gaming video. It'll probably be the last one. After that, the Maya, then a history of Rome. All DJ Peach Cobbler plans are subject to change at the last-minute.
