While the Eurocentrism of the American education system (and Europe I'm assuming) can be annoying I see nothing wrong with history as a self-indulgent hobby. My minor obsession with feudal Japan has nothing to do with learning lessons from history, but I still can't help but be fascinated by Ieyasu Tokugawa, and Yukimura Sanada, and the Battle of Sekigahara, etc. Now who's a nerd talking about **** nobody else cares about?
