As you, Constantine, pointed out, when you talk about certain individuals, people will change their mind depending on the deed.
It's a met it's there's a metaphysical thing and it changes and it changes across time and will change again.
And that's one of the reasons why there's been this whole argument around it, is because it's it is got this mes metaphysical thing and it changes through time.
You mentioned Alfred the Great, Constantine.
He united the English with four things.
Well,
Oh yeah, that's a yeah, okay, fine.
That's a that's a good clarification.
So
It it's more than just four.
It's there I mean there were Anglo Saxons, Jutes, Latins, Celts
There were just so many different tribes and different languages, and he united them against the great heathen army, against the Vikings.
And he did four things to give a unity to them, which was he created a common religion, he made Christianity the common religion, he created a common language, because they were not all speaking the same language.
He created a common language.
He created a common history where he, by translating Bede and uh not Bede would have already been in English, but
But he's important text and said, This is our history.
That's really important.
And he created a common law.
He started our legal um tradition with his Dombach, which starts with the Ten Commandments.
Now, all of this is pretty horrifying if you bring up Alfred, because when we don't have any of those things anymore.
