It clicked in my head just now.
History is really just the same general thing over and over. You have morphing selves, acting within their thermodynamic allowances in changing organizational structures, and changing space-plots. Organizations change agenda, politics change, and there’s not much else except hints at other academic subjects, mysteries that are actually interesting and general terms.
After that, there’s a clock and calendar.
That being said, people who use history to back their arguments are just fucking stupid lol. Ignore them, I guess.
