Not the most interesting, it is however the most relevant given the present is the resulting effect of past tense, which is ofc a prelude to the future so history is a pivot like the sun we revolve around...which is pivoted to the galactic center etc etc.

In addition I feel that nothing can be truly taught, teaching itself is (should be) an act of guidance towards self realization, and as someone else mentioned we still utilize an archaic method that is as the blunt hammer that imprints information by striking the anvil per se.

More-over, the issue with history as it stands is highly distorted given the fact that back in the days of old those who would win a war also decided they should erase certain historical pivots in order to shift perception toward their favor/line, even today there are events that aren't told accurately of the present and so further distorting the futures point of reference.

This is why, I feel, history is the most relevant feature of the universe, even better is that we can change the past from the present position (via perspective) which then in turn effects the past view thus our present attitudes towards it, meaning that although there are distortions of our history we can at any time choose to acknowledge and alter set events from the future without the need for technological time-travel devices.

Where weve been is where we are going, theres an old saying that states 'there is nothing new under the sun', though I don't expect any agreement on that particular matter.

There's something that Napoleon (and supposedly Alexander) said that sums up this point, "History is a set of lies agreed upon".


Mmm. History is a dialogue between the past and the present.

That's true, let me explain further my meaning whilst using your expression. You say dialogue between 2 points without mentioning the third, which is the connection implied by the two, that connection being the third or future. So, if for instance you breakup with a partner over something you believe to be true (of the past) then realize later you were incorrect, does that present view not alter your current perspective of the past and so reinventing the current perspective of your reality, thusly altering the direction of your future? of course it does, and although I provided a very simple scenario people take such things for granted and fail to acknowledge what it is they are actually doing.

Technically speaking there is only 'now', and from this point we can alter both past and future, yet amusingly enough very few people live in this 'now', they are either behind or ahead of themselves. Consider how one scenario that manifested in your life that you have attempted to internally visualize over and over in different ways with differing outcomes and in the process you began to associate emotions with these things that technically never occurred in your reality, are those emotions fake? No, they're quite real, and given enough thought you can actually use these emotions to alter the internal content to the degree that you will believe that the false visualizations are more real then those that were real, and in so doing you change what was and what will be.

Hopefully that made things a little clearer, reality is anything but concrete and factual.
