The trick, you see, is to enjoy your superior historical acumen and use your power for good by internalizing that everyone is born a blank slate and you have an automatic advantage as you age and even greater advantage with your brilliance and your éclat, so write upon that slate something good that advances their world knowledge while acknowledging, you know, Moon Landing Conspirator you have have all good points there, we didn't go back because by going there we learned that there is nothing on the moon that is worthwhile, for now, and it was a massive pissing contest to begin with, a "¿quién es más macho?" phenomenon on a national scale. Plus we lived through the drama of testing before you were born. Here, let's pull up a chair and we can recount the decade in detail, starting at the beginning.
Looks for a way out.
Questioning such achievements in the past that are no longer done such as transatlantic dirigibles and supersonic transportation is effrontery to the people who achieved them. When pyramids are attributed to aliens from space by proponents with doctoral degrees and those ridiculous theories make as much sense as ancient people building them, even with the process of building things frozen in time such as abandoned obelisk projects and Easter Island projects, and further questioning why they would do such things that are no longer done, and answering with science fiction, then modern conceit and presumption override respect for achievements of people who lived and are gone and who had the run of the whole place before we did. Please accept this circular reasoning so I don't have to whip out another.

I'm glad it's a video. I'm not so good at reading anymore.
Also, it could have been 5 minutes shorter.
Okay so I am the Seinfeld wannabe.
I was projecting.
Thanks for allowing me to notice.
The word effrontery is terrific.
Just go watch Idiocracy and you'll understand.
Idiocracy is a documentary.
