yea good luck with living your life by that mantra.
History, real Historically researched history done by trained professionals is anything but fiction. I think you are failing to make a distinction between "history" espoused by talking heads and politicians, and history that thats been combed over and dug through and researched throughly, with points of view backed up by real evidence.
The problem with your belief that we are keenly aware of anything fails to recognize the reality that we don't know what the hell is going on until after the fact. thats why hindsight is 20/20 unless you happen to be omniscient, which i doubt you are, in which case you and i aren't even close to being aware of even knowing one half of 1% of the total knowledge and information of the moment.
do you think the world knew what the fuck was going on during the cuban missile crisis, that it situation was defused by a back room deal with the kremlin? fuck no, we didn't find that shit out till much later, thats god damn history at work. what about Thomas Jefferson and John Adams sending each other letters about the size of the American weasel's penis? people didn't know about that shit till later making it fucking history!
a properly trained historian when doing research and reading source documents takes into account who is writing the information, for what purpose, what time period, to what audience, etc. context is king.
honestly your entire argument is an argument for ignorance, you honestly believe that since the time of Herodotus that all of it is total bullshit?
there is really only one fucking word to describe this post
