I want to go to monsterpalooza next month and am debating going for one day or two. but a hotel is expensive, even for just one day. For anyone who’s attended in previous years, would you say going for two days is worth it or are you able to “do everything” in one day?
I see great man theory brought up a lot as ahistorical. The idea that the only people who had an impact in history were a small collection of “great men” like Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon, Hitler (cuz great doesn’t mean good). Now, as a fallacy one can fall into I can see it, when so much scholarship focuses on the leaders of nations one can forget about the bigger picture. But did any educators of history ever actually believe great man theory? Not as a fallacy they fell into but as the explicit way they viewed the world?
One of my favorite things to do in Skyrim is loot all the Dwemer scrap and treasures to melt down into Dwemer metal. I don’t actually do anything with it, I just do it for roleplay because I felt that could be an actual occupation in Tamriel. Which made me think, is it? Has there ever been some guy who instead of starting a mine, occupied a ruin and stripped all the pipes from the walls like a crackhead to sell? And with Dwemer metal’s recipe being lost, won’t it eventually run out?
