There's more to history than Wikipedia. Like physical books

I didn't even think of that 🤦
I've been online for too long

Back in my day you had to buy Wikipedia. It came in like 20 massive volumes that ate up a shelf or two.
Thinking about it… I wonder what my parents did with our copies…
-
I doubt Britanica has a page dedicated to Limp Bizkit.
-
The encyclopedia even came on CD for a while. It was called Encarta. But I loved my parent's World Book Encyclopedia much more.

Still have em! They'll be the last source of actual knowledge once the AI slop destroys us.
-
And that encyclopedia is online too.
-
And looking up specific species, animals, conditions

And historians
-
The US based ones will be silenced because the algo will ignore them.
-
Books. Classes. Things outside of the Internet. C'mon.
-
Will all be more difficult.

Not really? Wikipedia is only one small resource. A useful one but it's only a starting off point at best for any real study

Not all physical books are accessible, eg the log books of Christopher Columbus. DOGE is defunding libraries and Dept of Ed. Academics are fleeing. This collapse of knowledge is bad.
