Mark and Tom's reaction to that bullshit historian at 14:47 was spot on. I'm at the polar opposite of the kind of education that Tom had, yet I still can't believe that historian would dare make a comment like that in front of a guy who actually went through that system. Totally out of order and an obsolete argument at that.

The point Hiddleston makes there is really valid. Henry V was able to physically lead his men by riding on a horse in the war. That's not how political leaders of modern age are, whatever the reasons. I remember watching Dunkirk (Christopher Nolan) and the scene in which the Cillian Murphy's character tells Mark Rylanc's character (the Yacht man) to turn around because he's not a soldier but an old man and knows nothing, to which the he responds, "Men my age dictate this war. Why should we be allowed to send our children to fight it?" That's what essentially lacks in modern age leaders. Churchill though came close to being charismatic. Guess he was the last of the lot.

The difference is, Schama learned everything he knows through academia, the actors learned by living it. There is something to be said for direct experience that you simply can not get merely by reading it, which is sadly the reason why every time Mark and Tom say something that goes against his views, Schama gets confrontational over it. Historians can not know everything and only barely know what they read because they have no practical experience or understanding to back it up whereas the rest of us know better and academic know-it-alls feel threatened by that. Case in point, I was 19 and had gotten a GED and this 30 year old woman who bragged about having 4 years of college tried to convince me she was more intelligent than I was by saying that the nearest star to Earth was Andromeda and that Scotland was completely separated from England by water. She was completely wrong on both counts and I knew it, but she refused to accept that I knew anything, let alone knew more than she did because my knowledge came from independent research and experience rather than the academic brainwashing she received.

@@bookloverwholovestocook3669 It's refreshing to meet someone who is intelligent enough to realize how little they actually know, despite study, research, and academic degrees. Literally no one person can know everything about a single subject, let alone know everything there is to know about multiple subjects. I am very keenly aware of this fact. Also, the only reason I have a GED instead of a diploma is because the school I was going to had serious gang violence issues, including guns being pulled on other students. Having PTSD and dealing with that level of risk to my safety made it impossible for me to continue attending and I could not transfer schools. So I left and got a GED. That experience has also made it impossible for me to physically attend college, I tried twice and my anxiety was so intense that I couldn't even set foot on campus grounds. However, there are over 2 dozen subjects that I have studied and researched starting with Paleontology at age 4. I had been studying Astronomy and Astrophysics since age 8 and as someone who is of Celtic heritage and has researched that heritage, I have more than a passing knowledge of the geography and history of the Celtic Isles and their people. While I may know a lot about the subjects I have studied and researched over the decades of my life and what I know is certainly not insignificant by any means, I am all too keenly aware of the fact of how little I actually know. You are very likely correct regarding miss 4-years-of-college-and-an-expert-in-everything. She certainly seemed insecure given the fact that by the age of 30 had been married 6 times and was known to have had multiple extramarital affairs during and between marriages, including sleeping with one of my exes in her marriage bed while her husband was in the living room watching television. In certain circles around here, she is well known as a slut (which she hotly denies and gets intensely offended if anyone says it where she can hear). All I can say is, "If the shoe fits..." 🤨😏😆

It is class comment. The boys who go to Eton come from money. Not to say that there aren't the scholarship students but for most part the students come from elite backgrounds. Historically, a pasty is a working class food item -- a hand-held meat pie that is shaped into a half moon. Working class men would have a pasty packed for their lunch. "Etonian chomping on a pasty" literally means an upper class person eating a food item that is working class. Or in other words, an upper class person trying to come across as being a regular person and/or recognizes the problems of regular people. I don't know if there is still a class divide with the pasty. If a person travels around England, they will find pasty shops on high-end streets in cities around England. Supposedly, the Duchess of Cambridge makes them for Prince William.

The Historian seemed to be quite dismissive of actors in general, especially with the "pastie" comment, and it seems like he had far less of a grasp on Shakespeare than Tom did. That's to be expected, of course, as the only way you can truly understand Shakespeare is through experiencing his works live and that is done most intimately through acting them yourself. (Along with detailed analysis obviously) I have great disdain for scholars who pour over plays as if they are books and nothing else.

I agree with you and Tom, people these days really don't believe speeches. We think politicians are charlatans saying whatever's popular to sell themselves to a disillusioned public. Leaders don't go out and prove themselves any longer, making these portentous discourses all they have left. But all that does is gain them recognition as great orators not actually inspire people to follow. Also, you totally pegged that historian. lol :)
