An interesting Substack post by a Canadian historian, journalist and author (forwarded to me) on history and how people convince themselves they know different. It ends with:

I’ve talked at length with Holocaust deniers whose mastery of whole clouds of facts — or rather “facts” gathered with extreme prejudice — is superficially impressive.

In each case, ideology is obviously driving the collection of facts in a classic process of conclusion-based evidence-making. But where did the ideological belief come from in the first place?

That’s where my “pale blue dot” theory comes into play: Not understanding that history is infinitely complex leaves people vulnerable to zealots and ideologues promoting pseudo-history. After conversion, the most intelligent and energetic of the deluded may themselves become one of the zealots and ideologues.

To inoculate ourselves against such infection, we need to always remember that history is infinitely complex and if that complexity is not handled with intellectual integrity it can badly mislead us.

History: It’s more complicated than you think. Always.
