You cannot trust history, my friend.
Think of it this way.
There are 7 billion people on the planet.
That means one giant storyline is playing out as we speak online. That means billions of perspectives are being generated each second.
No way in hell can history tell the complete picture of what happened.
Too many variables and data points are dynamically changing second by second.
I wrote in another thread.
History is not supposed to be trusted. It's supposed to be a tool used to help us become wiser in future decision-making.
That's it.
What is truth?
Every storyline is like a data cube with 6 sides. Each storyline can have multiple cubes.
In database analytical processing. We have "pivot" tables.
This means we can turn data on various sides of a cube to get a different perspective.
This is why most articles are only summaries of one perspective at a time.
So this is why it's important to take in various perspectives to use as guides to make furture decisions.
