Topic	"history buffs" who only know about military history are the worst
Vita_Aeterna 12/16/19 1:16:36 AM #106:	Sad_Face posted... I know next to nothing about world history. But since I've been learning to invest for a year now, I've been wanting to learn and have been dabbling a teeny tiny bit about history of money. When you learn about the ebb and flow about money, what gives the USD its value (nothing, or the military are good answers), it puts a lot of actions and decisions countries make in a different perspective which ties into military history to explain why we've gone to a number of wars in the past decade. That being said... AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This was quite amusing. People are going to invest in their interests however they like. And not everyone is going to aim for mastery of their interest. You gotta accept there will always be casuals. Like me! That's okay, just don't call yourself a history buff. You have an interest in military history or money history in your specific case--that's it. In fact that word "buff" should never exist in this context. I formally study history of various things, but I know only 1/10th of what a historian does (we're talking about the general skillsets of a historian here-not just the ability to remember several thousand pages of information). I am neither a history buff, nor a historian. I am a student of history, that's all. --- "Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities." <cite>Vita_Aeterna posted [p:931649464] in "hist...
