HistoryFeb 2025 -

I’ve always wanted to get into History. Why? I may have run out of exceptional stories to consume, via movies, anime or shows.If History teaches one how the game was played, what games am I trying to understand? What game(s) did a period or a historical figure tackle and play?

Essays I wrote:
• How to (artificially) save the environment
• Why study History
