The problem with millennials is they don't read the works of Thomas Browne. Pseudodoxia Epidemica FTW!

To lead us farther into darkness, and quite to lose us in this maze of Error, he would make men believe there is no such creature as himself: . . . Insinuating into men’s minds there is no Devil at all . . . Sir Thomas Browne / Pseudodoxia Epidemica

Bought a copy of Thomas Browne’s 1658 urne-buriall for my shelves recently, once called ‘the longest piece … of absolutely sublime rhetoric to be found in the prose literature of the world.’ Curiously it’s been extracted from the 1658 4th ed. of his Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1/2) https://t.co/io36keE1ie
