Scientists are sometimes mocked by comedians at their poor
knowledge of human history.
I actually couldn't watch Neil DeGrasse Tyson anymore after he
gave a history of religion that made me shake my head like,
"what? what!? WHAT!?" - he's not well versed and for someone so
important to so many people, I really wish he'd get an historian
on his team.
Then again, I forget that i'm well versed in history and think
everybody should be and should cut him some slack. Actually no,
I'm not that well versed. There's a whole lotta stuff I don't
know much about, just broad overviews really.... and I'm
disappointed in my low knowledge of South America, Korea, China,
and many other places.
