You must be so used to people being contrarian that even my sarcastic criticism triggers your aggression or whatever this is.
Just relax and take a deep breath, nobody here is an enemy.
I’m merely pointing out an interesting idea that to a lot of (maybe even most, or even all) people, history, and therefore one’s worldview and values, are subjective and based around an authority of some kind.
No need to make this weirdly personal and hostile, we are only discussing ideas.
By saying that some people have different beliefs as to when “history” starts for different people?
Edit: if you really aren’t fucking with me, I think there genuinely might be a miscommunication here. And maybe I’m missing insulting or wronging somebody. Can you clarify when you think I started it?
Since we have a written record, it’s clearly history, accuracy disclaimers aside.
With that definition, isn’t Frodo dumping the One Ring into a vulcano history too?
Sure, buddy. Now go play and let the adults talk.
Yooo why are you being such a dick?
Well, yes, 1955 CE is, in fact, history.
To a lot of people, religious texts are authority
Why did you switch to the word Authority instead of History? Is it because using the word history makes your argument invalid?
I don’t even have an argument here. Chill.

Wow you’re coming off as super chill and not defensive at all here. Lol.
There’s been a lot of strange needless hostility around here lately so maybe we move on?
You started it.
You.

Are they your authority?
