Slaying a dragon in fantasy: swords and arrows. Slaying a dragon in reality: intercontinental ballistic missile.

CGP Grey: Everything can be solved with missiles. Americans: I fucking knew it
-
From the projects beginning to its completion, 43,830,000 souls were consumed by the dragon.
-
In reality, the megacorporation responsible for feeding the dragon would sabotage the project.
-
The dragon wondered for a moment why the bright light in the sky was getting bigger and brighter. Then it hit him.

"The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second-best time is now." -An old Chinese proverb
-
Now imagine if the dragon got back up in the end and was actually a two phase boss fight.
-
I love how the king aged a whole generation in 12 years.
-
"Many jobs would be lost if the dragon were slaughtered" Hits a little too close to reality
-
the people had slain the dragon, and then they could finally make a dope ass enderman farm
-
"Eat the dragon! Eat the dragon!" Chanted the crowds, pouncing on the corpse.

1:11 I didn't notice before, but the little boy to the far left, arms folded, not having any of what the teacher says, is actually the same boy who yelled out about his "Granny" being eaten and how the dragon really is bad, at the big meeting. Nice detail. He had the right idea from the start, and the adults were the ones who needed convincing.
-
The least accurate thing about this fable is that a scientist predicted how long their project would take
-
Imagine being the last person to die before the cure for death is invented
-
A part of the story that you don't hear about- the people who spoke out against the Dragon and argued that it was evil were persecuted and most of the time they were the ones chosen to be fed to the Dragon.
-
I lost my dad a year ago to covid i got the text that he could set up a covid vaccine appointment the day after his death, this hits hard to me.
-
If this were real we all know there would be a group of people who would just go to the dragon and snitch
-
Grey: it’s a fable Also grey: diamond tipped ballistic warhead
-
Everyone believes the dragon is a fact of life, until the dragon sets its eyes on you.
-
I like how it’s wings are a foggy thing or just transparent like it’s a part of the dragon’s evil and it’s literally spewing out of its sides
