What the Garbage Says
If Edward Gibbon had found other books, other sources, would he have written in detail about the Celtic or Carthaginian experience over that time frame?
Being an amateur historian of sorts means I read a lot about people long dead and put my every day into the context of the things I have researched. It can be an exhausting way to look at the world, but at this age I think I have reached the point of no return. I am just obsessed with the tiny details, which of course got me thinking about all the garbage we generate and what that means to the future.
