The problem is that I am constantly fatigued in finding out whether what I just read is a snark/joke/hyperbole/exaggeration (which is fun tbh) or a serious historical fact or part of your central thesis.

This is usually quite entertaining in other contexts, but when relaying history which entirely depends on narratives based on facts, it creates fatigue for me.




Thanks! I will keep that in mind next time.


Others might still enjoy it, it’s just my opinion.


At the very least, I can be more intentional about when I am trying to make someone laugh in an otherwise serious essay.

Your opinion is appreciated.
