How to Become a Historian

from The Dead Warrior Society · host Zachary Masek

In this episode of the Dead Warrior Society, I discuss how I went from being a piss poor student who barely graduated high school to eventually getting a degree in History from an Ivy League University. Throughout my journey I made numerous errors but eventually I figured out an algorithm that worked well and helped me not only learn the material but absorb it and come up with new creative arguments to push back against my professors, historians, and other intellectuals. Here I will teach you my approach from start to finish. If you are someone who reads history because it is entertaining, that’s great. But if you want to really understand, absorb, and engage in various arguments taking place in the Zeitgeist , this is a great tool.
