You mean just like how we learned about the 1920 pandemic?
Oh right, no we didn't. It was a footnote at best.
Our current lives really aren't all that special you know.
Uh, what? I absolutely was taught about the 1920s pandemic. Not so much about the disease itself or how the pandemic was handled, admittedly, but certainly about how it affected society and the politics of the time. It wasn't a whole unit by itself, but it was definitely more than a footnote.
I guess I was taught it. There was a paragraph in our history text about it. The teacher said a sentence or two on it.
I think this time period in humanity is very special. It really does feel like the make or break of humanity sometimes.
That's because you're alive right now. Obviously the events you experience yourself seem weightier than the events you've only read about.
Not in the same way.
You could maybe argue atom bombs and cold war was a similar time for such crucial moments in humanity, but now we also got climate change, another rise in fascism, and we got tons of nukes on top. And plenty of other things which I won't bother to delve into because I should sleep.
It all went to shit after Harambe died
This actually caused a parallel universe split and sadly we got the dark timeline.
The 2020s were very important (and very rough) in Star Trek lore, too. Slightly different, but the similarities are striking...
Bell Riots when?
I learned about it.
I did too, but i'm over 40 so I can't say much for current educational systems.
