Rah rah Rasputin
  • The Rasputin story is intrinsically tied to the Anastasia story and both are based of off revolutionary narratives following the Russian civil war.

    Edit: Meant to say that because the Russian revolution was so propagandized, most of the info people believe about it is bullshit.

  • Minor accomplishments
  • What a fantastic opportunity for me to rant:

    This is how literally everything is. The individualistic urge to celebrate specific people has always escaped me because like, nobody does great things alone. There always teams of engineers, interns, students, personal support networks, and an endless slue of people you can credit discovery with depending on how mercurial you want to be. The only thing that highlighting individuals does is create negative side effects. People who try to go it alone and fail start to believe they failed because of personal inadequacy rather than a lack of support and resources. Celebrated individuals loose sight of the contributions of those around them and become overly invested in their own intellectualism. Uncelebrated individuals doing important work become discouraged and may change fields.

    Awards have even been specifically created with the expressed purpose of dividing groups. Famously, the Oscars were created to create a sense of elitism amongst actors and separate them from the other industries that worked in film. This resulted in film industry unions loosing their most effective spokes people.

    Anyways that's why individualism is a plague. You're individuality is important, but no discovery was made without the efforts of countless colleagues and predecessors. Nobody does anything in a vacuum.

    And don't even get me started on the biology of community. We're built to work together.
