“It is the mission of history to make our fellow beings acceptable to us.” Jose Ortega Y Gasset

I think most people don’t realize how different our ‘history’ is now that we have an omnivorous media and access to so many documents we didn’t use to have. Now we can write histories that make people and actions in the past not look acceptable at all. But that wasn’t how it always was.
