Personally, I take a different approach.

I don't give a fuck.

For all we know, dragons could've been walking around blasting dragon-rap cappin' bitches long before the gangstas. Or, they could've not existed at all.

What I DO know is that COUNTLESS times throughout history civilizations will change history to suit it's own needs. So fuck it. I don't give a fuck. If it was recorded over 200 years ago, I'm just gonna deny it happened at all. Actually, fuck that too. I'm just gonna say The Universe started 200 years ago. And I'm gonna do it like a Christian. Deny any and all evidence against it.

Fuck dragons, Jesus, and your great-great-great-great grandparents. None of them ever existed.
