I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like he was giving his version of the Blade Runner monolog when he busted that one out.

Ever since Rudy started making videos he has been pushing autism in ways never done before and the world has been so good ever since. Every new Chudyard vid has been like a birthday present (infact today is my birthday) you'd never know what you get until you open it up. The point is I now want to see a long video of nothing but Rudy larping as a French Crusader Knight.

Truly, a visionary
 
I'm sorry if this is already well know, but has Rudy ever said what college he attended?
From one of the first posts on this thread, it says Rudy was a student at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine according to the National Academic Quiz Tournaments website.

Yes, Rudy attended Bates College before dropping out after one semester. Here is a video of him explaining why he dropped out from July 2024:

Bates is quite well off and prestigious for an institution of its size. Now, Rudy has admitted to having rather unexceptional grades in high school. I wonder if his family wealth was leveraged to get him in. Perhaps his family has gifted endowments to Bates? At the very least, he might have been paying tuition in full.

Very well could have been a thing where his Dad is an alumni. Would have to do research into him

Bates does offer a Major and minor in History. Tried to find more details on course schedules but best I could find is a list of classes and declaration forms. No details on course requirements for a Bachelor's. Apparently the average GPA of admitted students of Bates is 3.88 which again leans to the theory that Daddy Lynch has connections that allowed Rudy to get into Bates College despite lackluster performance in high school.
 
I have found the course requirements for Bates History Major.

I have also taken the liberty of downloading the course catalog for the 24-45 academic year. Page 537 is where the section on the history major is.

The university features some very progressivist course offering. For instance, Rudy could have taken a class from the African Studies department on the Hatian Revolution. This is not a problem, but the course listed after it is titled "#BlackLivesMatter." The hashmark is included. For Africa or Modern history credit, he could take "This is not a Drake Story: (Mis)Characterizations and (Mis)Caricaturizations of Black Judaism." (Note, these last two are also listed as history classes as well. Bates seems to have multiple course numbers for classes). The history department proper features classes like "US Latinx History," "A Sex and the Modern City: European Cultures at the Fin-de-Siècle," "Intersectionality and Feminist Social Movements," and "Race Matters: Tobacco in North America." There are more normal course offerings, but despite the plethora of courses and Bates being a liberal arts college, there are no classes specifically on Britain, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Hellenistic period, the American Revolution, the American civil war, the World Wars, or the Cold War. The American revolution, for example, is taught alongside the South American independence movements, despite the latter almost being comparatively irrelevent in the grand scheme of American history.

Not shown on the major requirements, but you can actually opt to take a course on Roman Slavery instead of the standard 300 level seminar.

This is why I hate the academy and its financial collapse cannot come soon enough.
 
Did he ever wrote any historical books or essays anyone could find?
@Mudkipcorn made pretty good post about Chuddyards family earlier in the thread. I can't quote whole thing, but here is relevant part about his grandfather.
Joseph Lynch, his paternal grandfather was an academic historian, a lifelong goal of his since age 14, apparently. Educated at Harvard, he specialized in the medieval Church and has had his work translated into Ukrainian, Serbo-Croatian, and Korean. He also had "no athletic pretensions at all" (lol).
He wrote five books.
Simoniacal Entry into Religious Life from 1000 to 1260: A Social, Economic, and Legal Study
Godparents and Kinship in Early Medieval Europe
Christianizing Kinship: Ritual Sponsorship in Anglo-Saxon England
The Medieval Church: A Brief History
Early Christianity: A Brief History

I may have to read some of these, they're relevant to my field as is.

You can just look at that guy and know he'd recite an entire passage of obscure church canon law from the 1200s in the original Latin from memory at the drop of a hat.

It really does make me wonder. Why are autists nowadays so damn dumb and uncultured compared to autists of yesteryear?
