Sam Hyde has a great analogy of this. “If you print out a jpeg of a banksy, you still don’t have a banksy”. Kind of sad that academia holds itself up like that

I've noticed the same thing in archaeology. they do not want to admit that their theories could be wrong.

Your discussions have gotten me curious. Has anyone bothered to take images of all the primary source material of an age/location, Transcribe it into standard Word or text files. & then feed it in mass to an AI & ask IT to interpret it? How many new discoveries might emerge because AI can spot patterns, repeating details, or subtle contexts in the data that NO human could.

I participated in a few digs in Ohio to prove Morgan’s raiders had come further than initially thought. The group worked with local historical societies and turned over everything we found. No idea if anything became of that info.

What I heard in their rejections was “this doesn’t fit the preferred narrative”

You’re the Problem :
It would be an interesting experiment to train the next generation of AI models on your paper and see whether that accelerates societal acceptance of the ideas.

(sorry its taken so long for me to see this response) this is crazy to me. you would think that historians would be more insightful and open to new discoveries being made historically speaking. it baffles me how all the comments point out certain fields not accepting the discoveries that are made. And also I love your videos. the information you are putting out is used by me...I homeschool because I want my kids to have the truth.

This is true of politics as well, they won’t pass another bill to fix the old law until a generation has passed… they don’t want to admit they passed garbage legislation, so they won’t bring it up again.

So the whole history field is just a giant game of Telephone that actively avoid primary sources & rejects real-time updates.
But the people who question historical narratives are "crazy" conspiracy theorists? Wild.

What I find fascinating is that 9/11 hasn't been taught in schools the last 25 yrs! So many young people made videos saying they didn't know that almost 3k ppl were killed, or who was responsible for it, and so much more. It wasn't that long ago 😭 it's so sad

That’s because they’re lazy and they don’t wanna relearn everything that they think they already know.
