The least accurate thing about this fable is that a scientist predicted how long their project would take
-
"Many jobs would be lost if the dragon were slaughtered" Hits a little too close to reality
-
Slaying a dragon in fantasy: swords and arrows. Slaying a dragon in reality: intercontinental ballistic missile.
-
In reality, the megacorporation responsible for feeding the dragon would sabotage the project.
-
"The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second-best time is now." -An old Chinese proverb
-
The dragon wondered for a moment why the bright light in the sky was getting bigger and brighter. Then it hit him.
-
From the projects beginning to its completion, 43,830,000 souls were consumed by the dragon.
-
Now imagine if the dragon got back up in the end and was actually a two phase boss fight.
-
the people had slain the dragon, and then they could finally make a dope ass enderman farm
-
CGP Grey: Everything can be solved with missiles. Americans: I fucking knew it
-
I love how the king aged a whole generation in 12 years.
-
"Eat the dragon! Eat the dragon!" Chanted the crowds, pouncing on the corpse.
-
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

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.

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.

Imagine being the last person to die before the cure for death is invented
-
I know this is a big analogy for stopping natural aging, but the real takeaway here is how clever the dragon is. Why eat a kingdom full of people when you can instead spend centuries atop a mountain eating a smaller number of people consistently? Somebody needs to rewrite this from the dragon's perspective as a pro-renewable resources story.
-
Everyone believes the dragon is a fact of life, until the dragon sets its eyes on you.

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.
