My Issue with Critical Scholarship

In this episode Jon tries to explain his issues with Critical Scholarship. Admittedly this is a less structured and a more rambling episode, mostly because this is basically two of my special interests colliding which often got me side tracked.

My main issue is that many scholars are saying things with a lot of confidence, and I'm like "IDK, I think things are actually more complicated and historical reconstruction is actually extremely hard to do accurately IRL" and basically say that on a loop for 1:30.

Correction: I kept saying "providence" I meant to say provenance" I guess I just had Christianity on the brain a little too much
