Just reading your commentary is a pleasure. Do you have a formal education in history?

Thank you! Yes, I'm a historian professionally (still finishing off my PhD, but I teach seminars and publish papers etc): I work on the people & politics of medieval Georgia/the south Caucasus, and also on developing computer/database driven methods for studying ancient & medieval periods. I'm based at the University of Vienna.
History is one of my greatest passions in life, but I've taken many wrong turns that have led me to live quite an isolated life- if that makes sense. Are you interested in explaining your work to me in more detail, privately if preferred? I am eager to learn more and frankly I dont have many friends.
Sure, I'd be very happy to have more of a chat about it/send some details over sometime - I guess the ones I frequent most are Discord, Twitter, Email, and the old webforums at Exilian which I help run still (you might like that space generally if you're interested in this sort of stuff, it's a small and fairly community with quite a heavy history + games crossover) - but I can probably do most other systems too, whatever works :)
