Grey, any time you need to talk about Tiff just give me a call.
-
Thomas "The Chronological Order Hitman" Hearne.
-
Grey has just done the real, actual, unironic job of a historian.
-
I love how Alexander Pope's message was essentially "Thomas Hearne is a hoarding prick" and Grey, after months of excruciating work, basically confirmed it.
-
WHY THE POEM IS A JOKE: It's a pun based on "coming out of Britany". William's mother was named Britany. The poem is implying that his mother gave birth to the man, his wife, his maid, and his dog. It's an ancient "yo mama" joke.
-
Grey’s willingness to dive absurdly deep into the most seemingly simple topics just shows how incredibly complex and interesting our world really is
-
9:00 Alexander Pope literally wrote down: "To future historians: This guy's a hack." And here we, future historians, goggle at his spiteful, beautiful foresight.
-
cgp grey, exasperated: "I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF ANYONE IS STILL LISTENING AT THIS POINT!" me, being entranced by the centuries old drama about Hearne while eating a Klondike bar: "ya, I'm with ya"
-
Thank you for developing unhealthy obsessions with obscure topics for my entertainment
-
I love how centuries later Grey finds himself in agreement with Pope's despise of Hearne
-
I think this is important as it shows how a single person's incompetency can spread misinformation for literally hundreds of years. This is a small thing but how many of these small things are there out there that end up changing the total narrative either through this same level of incompetency or intentionally? The idea is so fascinating to me that it almost makes me wish I took up history.

I’m a PhD student and I just got back from a 7 mile hike turned 16 miles by a wrong turn and, suddenly, the forest of all knowledge analogy just got 1000% more relatable
-
I love that this channel is just “proper research is agony”
-
The scottish history section being located in a perpetually unlit section of an English library is the most beautifully poetic thing I think I have seen
-
Watched this with my fiancée. We're both PhD researchers and this was just perfect.
-
-
Keeping the section with books on Scottish History in literal darkness is the most English thing I've ever heard of
-
The fact that Grey was actually able to track all this down is insane.
-
Reading beef between historic writers is the most entertaining thing ever, I would have never knew about this EVER without you Grey
-
This took the butterfly effect to the extreme. A few hundred years ago some guy made a fanfic about the scotronomicon and a few hundred years later some random guy is going insane wondering how someone lived 89 years before he was born
