| Topic | Was Christopher Columbus stupid for reaching America and thinking it was India? |

I feel like the vote is based on people trashing Columbus for not having modern values when he literally lived about 3 times closer to Ghenghis Fucking Khan than he did to any of us. Modern value? CC was raised in the wool trade. This meant he spent his entire life evaluating wool for cloth until he left home. In his own time he did not learn from observation or he did not know how to apply knowledge. Either way. When I say CC passed on cotton, I am judging him by his own time. CC was too wrapped up in himself to ask and how do you use these little balls of fluff which you keep trying to trade me? --- GoldenSun/Crossbone Isle diagrams/ 18 teams known https://photobucket.com/u/SwordOfWheat/a/9990a2ee-25f3-4242-ae79-7d2d4b882be4 ...
