    Why did you switch to the word Authority instead of History? Is it because using the word history makes your argument invalid?

      I don’t even have an argument here. Chill.

      You must be so used to people being contrarian that even my sarcastic criticism triggers your aggression or whatever this is.

      Just relax and take a deep breath, nobody here is an enemy.

      I’m merely pointing out an interesting idea that to a lot of (maybe even most, or even all) people, history, and therefore one’s worldview and values, are subjective and based around an authority of some kind.

      No need to make this weirdly personal and hostile, we are only discussing ideas.

              By saying that some people have different beliefs as to when “history” starts for different people?

              Edit: if you really aren’t fucking with me, I think there genuinely might be a miscommunication here. And maybe I’m missing insulting or wronging somebody. Can you clarify when you think I started it?
