  • I have a BA in history (lol) and I’m shocked every day at how little I was taught about history the whole way through. The primary education was just an absurd jumble of half-truths, whereas the complete lack of focus needed to get a college degree meant you just took whatever class you were lucky enough to get into (before it filled up) and hope the professor was good enough to actually make some of the info stick. There was never an overarching theory or underlying guidance to the discipline, just a collection of cherrypicked dates and factoids to memorize just long enough to get a decent grade on the next exam.
