Fun fact:
Like the news, history tends to focus s LOT more on the worst things and the most dramatic things.
Good ideas quietly succeeding is the most important building block of human society, but it hardly ever gets a mention.
Also, violence against certain groups is plenty dramatic but is counter to the most pleasing narrative, so it also gets left on the cutting room floor. There's an entire genre of post on the Internet of people being amazed at things they were never taught, that never got a movie or TV show made about it. Black Wall Street, The 1945 Firebombing of Tokyo, Battle of Blair Mountain, the Samar Campaign. And that's just shit the Americans did.
