The physical artifacts that we have are given a context, when in reality we should assume we know nothing of physical artifacts and instead place them in a timeline that is actually verified.
what verified timeline
guys
is this 33 thing about the coronavirus something true
Well say a roman lamp is found. The dating methods are not empirical.
Its like dating a piece of art.
The entire field is full of BS
ok
well
they don't say that they know for sure
would you rather they just say
the coronavirus hopefully kills a lot of people
"we don't know anything about this"
or have them talk about what their best guesses are
and what those guesses are based on
they give estimations for a lot of things
@Nerthulas their best guesses are politically motivated. It has always been.
what do you mean it's not empirical
you mean it's not certain
they have reasoning for their estimations
Have you spoken to historians? The ones you find at universities these days want black reparations.
which are based on other things
ok, some of them do
we could look at surveys of historians maybe
but
were they in the 50s?
all of them are politically selected for tenure
how much of the historical consensus has changed since the 50s?
how much of that had a good reason?
there are historians in other countries
Do you think a radically questioning historian would be tenured?
@gast gladly we have older history ***books***
well, have your heard of the 1619 Project from the New York Times? It's basically a failed effort to rewrite American history by some empowered black female.....
The older books were already subverted.
She said the founding of America is based on the desire to enslave blacks. She got enormous pushback from historians and university professors
