  • “Good looking” can run a very wide gamut here, but let’s assume your expectation there is reasonable. These are all attributes that most people want out of a partner, so you’re in the same boat most other people are. Are you actually going on dates and attempting to meet someone that fits these criteria?

    It sounds like you aren’t, and if the reason you aren’t is because you’re in love with a fictional person, then you should get some professional help. That isn’t reasonable or normal and is probably a symptom of wider issues in your life.




  • Carlin’s podcast (and a lot of popular history podcasts) are generally considered fairly poor by academic historians, in regard to accurately portraying modern historical research. I think those kinds of podcasts are good to engage and stimulate interest in history, as long as the listener understands that they are a kind of “pop” history and should be taken with a grain of salt.

    Same goes for a lot of popular books, like Sapiens.
