Due to my age, what is historical to me is probably ancient to you,
which makes me “conservative” and you probably a “progressive”. Many “progressives” and cultural bigots of today want to rewrite history & discard ancient things, such as the Bible, statutes of our founding fathers and maybe even the Constitution, in a manner similar to the ISIS idiots who destroyed the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra. Claims of advancing forward frequently involve the destruction of the past, either deliberately or unintentionally. But how can you claim to have advanced forward if you don’t know how you got there in the first place or what promoted another culture to excel? And so the truth gets lost.
Of course, the collection of too many things also tends to bury the really important points. This is where breakpoints to compartmentalize information become essential in maintaining the whole enchilada. And hierarchical filing structure helps to collect related breakpoints.
These are not new ideas as evidenced by the National Archives (NAR). It is merely common sense. BUT SUCH RECORDS SHOULD NOT BE ACCESSIBLE TO ONLY THE PRIVILEGED FEW, as has occurred with the recent findings of Joe Biden’s emails proving his criminal activity. Secrecy, censoring and non transparency can be just as destructive of the truth.
Consider this. Just think of how much better off we would have been had the historical library in Alexandria not been deliberately destroyed.

Maybe there might have been proof or disproof of the existence of ufo’s and et’s. I use this as an example , not as a sarcasm, because there are today real questions regarding ufo’s, which might have been answered by documents in the Alexandria Library. But for the lack of that library, we can only assume the answer to be “NO”.
By the same token, we are destroying our own libraries by proliferating them with the nonsense of WOKEISM. Is not the proliferation of self evident garbage to bury important findings the same as burning down the library?
