​@@michaelharrison3602 If you think about it multiple times a day... for not just one day, but _every_ day... and then this continues to happen _every_ single day for month after month... that's not even being a geek, that's just flat-out an extreme obsession. I think David just accidentally exaggerated... but if what he said was supposed to be the truth, then it would be an _extreme_ obsession, *significantly* different from the example you gave. If he recently had a resurgence of interest in the subject, he might have meant "I've been thinking about a couple times a day for the past week". If he's talking about his life in general, he might have meant "I think about it a couple times every month". But having multiple thoughts about something, no matter how short-lived the individual thoughts, on a daily basis _without_ any specific reason for a resurgence of interest in the topic... well, it certainly seems odd enough for a host to comment. Did you also think of Jurassic Park today, btw? Before reading my comment of course, just on your own... and multiple times, too. Considering the fact that it's now a month ago you made your comment, if you're still thinking about the movie so often, then I suppose it really is an apt comparison after all.

I mean.... the main road in my village is literally built on top of a former roman road used for nearly 2000 years.... So I generally think at least as often about the roman empire as I cycle on that road. Then there's a huge 19th century railway bridge with arches that looks damn close to ancient aqueducts, so there's another time. And that's just through my daily encounters.

@tobiasnaylor Год назад
We’re a lot more aware of whats happening in other parts of the world now, a collapse like the roman empire would be something like Russia disintegrating. Its not like the entire world’s organisation would change, because it didn’t back in roman times either, civilisations like china or the mayans didn’t fall at the same time. And its unrealistic that they would in the modern era either because nations are independent of each other, if one fell, everyone else would just move on.

I can certainly understand it regularly popping into the minds of anyone living in an area that was part of the Roman Empire. There’s still lots of evidence of it around. I don’t live in one of those areas but still internally reflect on just how long it took to figure out why their concrete is self-healing whenever I see a bit of crumbling modern concrete. (We literally only figured it out in 2014.)

Things that can lead to thinking about the Roman Empire - thinking about the etymology of basically any Latin word - thinking about the evolution of political systems - Thinking about the evolution of Christianity - Thinking about the evolution of the calendar &/or the origins of holidays - Thinking about the history of British settlements, particularly London - Thinking about King Arthur’s historicity The list goes on; my point is that a lot of things in our modern day culture, if you think about their origin or history, you end up thinking about the Roman Empire. And as someone who is consistently curious about how the world ended up where we are, I think about it a lot, lol.
