Why does history matter? How do we know if society is broken or not? 

What’s the point in keeping track of everything that’s happened before? 

How does history influence the present and future?  

The Network State by Balaji Srinivasan makes the case that history is crucial for several reasons:  

In part one of this episode we covered: 

- How History is how you win the argument. Winning arguments need more than pure logic alone; you need facts, so you need history. 

- How History determines legality.  

- How History determines morality.  

- How History is how you develop compelling media. 

 - How History is the true value of cryptocurrency.  

- How History tells you who’s in charge.  

We explored how new network states should treat or teach their history.  And whether on-chain records make it impossible to lie. We also dived into what history tells us about how radical truth,  honesty, and transparency would work at scale using examples from companies doing it today.  

Today, in part 2 of "Why history is crucial" we cover: 

- History determines your hiring policy.  

- Founders need to know history in order to have the moral authority and maneuverability to make the best decisions 

- How History is how you debug our broken society.
