After reading and imagining oneself in different era's,
time's, etc the historian loses a sense of reality and literally, everything becomes relative. Human suffering isn't as
bad as others across history have suffered. You borrow
words, speech patterns, and mannerisms from other cultures in a different
time. You find it hard to interact with
people in present society as you present yourself as someone from the past you hold in esteem. You cannot escape the fruits of your own knowledge and are cursed to be a weird unknown thing. An amalgamation of unrelated things without any unifying idea to hold itself together, making it preposterous in the extreme.
Being affected by the Historians
Curse the professor was
seen as a lunatic as he constantly presented himself as knowing
everything whilst acting like a 13th-century townsman looking for God amongst the dead.
