Micro History: Tackling the Scale of History and Historiography
The scale of history is huge, the timeframe is long, and the measurements are often intentionally corrupted. After all, history is written by the winners, can be influenced by many factors, and needs to be verified. This verification comes through the analysis of historiography, which is the study of historical recordkeeping.
It is important to look at history to understand these trajectories because history is a cryptic epic of twisting trajectories →
1) Cryptic because narrators are unreliable and often intentionally misleading
2) Epic because the timescales are so long that you have to consciously sample beyond your own experience and any human lifetime to see patterns
3) Twisting because there are curves, cycles, collapses, and non-straight patterns
4) Trajectories because history is ultimately about the time evolution of human beings
