In history you read about elves, fairies, little people, spirits. It was an accepted part of reality.
But now that’s obvious nonsense and if you see fairies then you need a doctor.
Are we insane now?
Yes I know, nutrition, literacy and the scientific enlightenment. But still.
No uh because fairy skeletons don’t fossilize ever because reasons. or they don’t die or anything. notice how a lot of these fanciful things have an escape clause against discoverability?
