Discussion Does anybody like history?

[idk.]

I really liked history and still do.

I will always like it.

It seems very good to know stuff about either your country or another country.

But do you guys like it?

I really enjoy it and will.

I think the parts of history I like are so niche

I'm a bit of a fashion history nerd

I like seeing how clothing and style evolved over time

And what these garments meant to certain cultures, how people stayed warm or cool, what meant status and so on

But yes learning about it is important!

History's a lot of fun. I really like early modern European history since I see a lot of the consequences of it today, and it just feels like a super ambitious crossover where I learn one thing, and then the other thing was done by that person's cousin or something. History is just cool in general though, I like learning about it, no matter the subtopic.

I may be one of the few people who hate history. Maybe because I have a poor memory and short attention span but I just am not interested in history much

I think I would have liked history with a better teacher. All we did was copy a paragraph off the blackboard that had blank spaces on. We had to use our text books to fill in the blanks. Literally, that same formula- every lesson! I've no idea how they got away with that!

But, I enjoy museums and documantaries, historical drama. Especially seeing how people lived. What they believed in. How they invented things. I'm useless at remembering facts though- dates, locations, chronology. The academic side to it! Lol.

Do you have a favourite era?

I'm also probably more interested in other countries history rather than my own (UK.) I was very in to Ancient Egypt at one time.

As a natural born citizen of the US, I've never really cared for US history. It's short in the grand scheme of things, not a whole lot of interesting things happen in the US unless other countries are involved, making it more world history, and the most interesting parts of US history are the many horrible things that my country has done to its own people and to people in other nations.

I always liked world history... there is a rich history outside of US history that is really interesting, and not just for the bad stuff. There are lots of good stories in world history.

I know that history is smarter than I am.

History is extremely important to me and the main lesson of history by the way is that people do not learn the lessons of history. If you want to be successful you should study history and philosophy. If you want to be rich you should study history no matter what your field because it will teach everything you need to know. It's all happened before, it's all gonna happen again.
The guys in Washington haven't read history and the ones who have read history think that they're smarter than history, they actually think they're smarter than history and they can control it.

And if you can understand history you will see that the world is always changing and you need to understand that if you want to be successful at investing or anything. You need to understand that anything we think in any year is not going to be accurate 15 years later. And you can pick any year in history and you'll see that 15 years later everything had changed. 2000 well the world was very, very different in 2015. So history will teach you very, very important things about yourself, about the world and thats what you need if you're going to be successful in the future. And history will certainly teach us all that nothing lasts forever. No currency has been on top for more than 100-150 years, the world has had many international currencies in the past. The world's had many things, technologies, ect they have all moved on and changed to something else. Well if you want to be successful you need to know that. And then you need to figure out what the new change will be and then you'll be very successful.
