"As Matt Christman points out" makes him sound like a legit historian. Made me wonder how many people I've assumed are more credible than :matt-jokerfied: just because they were presented to me that way.
I mean fair. I also am kinda shit at remembering names, and that tracks with philosophy for me. I'm better at ideas than names, so I could probably recall the basics of intro philosophy, but not who wrote what.
I know people think that university is "pointless" but for fields like history, you absolutely do need the degree, if not the PhD, just to open the doors that will allow you to study the primary sources.
Also checking if they are fluent in the language of the place they're writing about is useful. You wouldn't trust a historian of Elizabethan England who couldn't read any English, after all.
Someone cited Matt Christman lol

In another world Matt is a professor and instead of doing cushvlogs he just gives rambling lectures for two hours

Diogenes is the best Greek philosopher though
