T-Rex: Historically speaking, all I know are broad stereotypes! For instance, most people in the middle ages all wore dumpy clothes and spent all day hoeing.
T-Rex: Now, I know that can't be accurate!
T-Rex: What I need is some cultural context, but it seems like most of that is lost. What was it like living as a teenager 40 years ago? I have no idea! And anyone who did know has now grown up, so they don't REALLY know either, on account of memories altering over time.
T-Rex: So much information is lost!
Utahraptor: Its the beauty of life, T-Rex! You can't really know anyone, even in the present, except for yourself!
T-Rex: And that's beautiful?
Utahraptor: Well, it might as well be, since it's all we've got.
T-Rex: Hmm, I guess this is why people keep diaries: to fight against this inexorable loss!
T-Rex: Too bad they lose!
