Many scientific hoaxes that easily fooled not only great figures of science, but also the general public.

You say that in the past tense. Interesting! Haha.

When I think of history, I think of the fallen empires and the sonnet of Ozymandias.

Granatmannen. (A man who placed 5 grenades and grenade traps in Oslo in 1965. He was never caught.)

I think about how people with mental disabilities were discriminated against in the 1960s and "NIMBY" ism (not in my backyard) was (and still is) prevalent in American communities. How people were institutionalized against their will for mild illnesses and then abused in those institutions. How MH organizations intentionally do not help mentally disabled people maintain employment to this day but advertise and market their employment or autism "services" as doing just that.
