History,

We need to know it. Consider my adventures with suppressed memory.
History is all we can know. Attempts to edit it are attempts to enforce behavior.
Machiavelli's The Prince is case studies and thus powerful. There are numerous
other examples.

History is performed acts.
In laboratory work, if it is not in a notebook, it did not happen.
It is the foundation from which we build.
Let us have more of it.
