Does it matter? History only matters if actions in the now are justified by interpretations of the past.
Thanks to the internet, we have instant access to the experience of billions of people. All human experience is already there and doesn’t have to be approximated by history.
I agree, for the way our societies are structured.
My point is that we could organize us in a way that history could provide additional depth but that the essential decisions could be made as well without the knowlege of history.
That “could” is doing a lot of work for that premise. We are currently structured as an amalgam of disparate chains of systems interacting with each other in loosely defined ways.
If you want to take the ability of sovereign entities to self determine, then sure we “could” organize in this other way.
But we don’t have a god emperor of earth, so we will need to rely on this loose consensus instead of a dictated one.
The past doesn’t tell you what to do, especially not when your recordings of history are wrong. If you cannot trust your history, how are you going to make decisions?

That’s a very uneducated take, and shows that you don’t understand how access to information can be changed, and modeled to elicit certain outcomes.
Unbiased, well cited repositories of information are essential.

Why does it have to be dictated? People can freely organize in a democratic way.
The problem is that people may join just because it is better, without fully supporting the respect towards others that is needed in such a system.
Things don’t happen that way. “Can, may, could” means that there will be pockets of people that don’t subscribe to the ideology and undermine it.
That’s the challenge. I still believe that it is possible.
Alright, thanks for confirming my opinion.
You are welcome.
What’s your opinion if you don’t mind me asking?
And yet, despite having instant access to the Internet you write this utter bullshit. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
The past doesn’t tell you what to do, especially not when your recordings of history are wrong. If you cannot trust your history, how are you going to make decisions?
The problem is:
So many of those voices are idiots.
So if you can get enough idiots to say something, it kind of becomes the truth.
So we need software that enhances the voices of those who we want to hear.
Good luck with that, Ai is funded to do the opposite.
Also, what we want to hear isn’t always what we should hear.
Maga is hearing 100% what they want to hear, there is a large section of the country who want nothing more than to hate loudly and proudly.
