The Case for a Shared Past

The Case for a Shared Past

We all have to at least agree on the past if we are to chart a way towards the future.

We believe that a neutral and non-political history should at least be attempted. We should strive for it.

The Cynicism of “Impossibility”

People say it is not possible. They say history is written by the victors, that bias is inescapable. But with the power of technology, we feel it is possible. We are no longer limited by ink and paper or the singular perspective of one author.

The Risk of Truth

A world where history is all agreed upon will open a lot of wounds. It will force us to deal with uncomfortable truths.

It may lead to the collapse of systems. It forces us to ask: What if this, for some reason, leads to the end of the world?

Was It Worth Having?

But if the systemic collapse—or even the end of the world—is caused simply by knowing the truth, then was that world worth having?

We hope this pursuit leads to a fair world. One with fewer conflicts, where we can agree to disagree and respect each other’s boundaries. A world where no one is enslaved by false narratives or hidden histories is not a bad thing—it is the goal.
