” History will not be kind to you Merrick” Depending on who writes the history.
The beauty of digital information is it’s almost impossible to erase all of it.
Stalin could remove people from pictures... but we have proof of him doing it because we were able to save the proof. That’s small potatoes compared to what we can do today.
“Saving the originals’ to counter the lies of ‘Stalins’ of our time can now happen at every level. With every event. It’ll be the equivalent of an historical ‘DNA cold case’ investigation. People in the future will be able to reconstruct the truth.
Truth keepers don’t need to save ‘history’ by keeping a ton of old newspapers on microfiche. Or photographs... or word of mouth. No matter who ‘writes’ history from this point on, original ‘facts’ will survive.
