This video is about a thought I have about our past and history. It’s maybe getting too scientific but some questions and ideas regarding our past (and our current time) might be worth to think about when designing a historical accurate game:

In the same way interesting questions:
What happend really in the past?
How much is the history written by the winners? What sources we have to proof (can proof)?
If you now the past is different (like written in the books), does this change anything for you?
Do you want to be in history books? As a artist, scientist, conqueror or something more worse?
What do you doing for that?
What happend really 1403?
I hope Warhorse has a good answer! Maybe they write the history books new.

He initially sounds like George Berkeley with his Thursdayism.
Anyways I hope the future doesn´t think of us like morons. Sadly it seems that popular opinion is that everything before 1945 was moronic.

Depends on how may outside observers there are, and which side they’re sympathetic to.
Is there anyone outside (and only an observer)? Or is every information (about the past) subjective?
Is it true? Why?
Always ask: what is the purpose of this information? Who will benefit? How to use it for this or that?
Philosophy is an interesting thing, unfortunately, it leads to inconclusive, that is their nature. It is itself its own result. 
In the moment when referring position, ending philosophy. Then tangible needs ago. You can orient yourself while not “what could be” in but to “what is, what was” from which “what will be” created.
Experience and common sense are usually sufficient completely out, for “our” game anyway.
Are you all real or is this just just a dream and one day im going to wake up to find out im really just … a goat

At least “last thursdayism” is funnier than creationism. But what about the future ? Maybe time itself has to be seen as described in the block-universe theory. So that means universal heat death will not happen because this idea is based on a linear time model. And what we call history is still present (somewhere)
