Henry Ford said, "History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history that we make today." (Chicago Tribune, 1916).

But it is also said that history repeats itself. So history is basically badonkadonk.

that their is a lot that remains to be discovered. and we need to unearth those secrets that remain unrevealed.

At minimum, a person should know something about the geopolitical and politico-ideological history of the last 200 years or so. It could be hard to make good political decisions otherwise. For example, you might be attracted to radical populism or revolutionary authoritarianism, not realizing that these have a terrible track record and such movements, when they topple the existing elite, usually just end up replacing it with a new, shittier elite. Not that such movements have never done anything good for people - after all, Soviet and Chinese communists probably did improve the quality of life for the people whom they didn't murder. But the bottom line is that when you destabilize the existing order, you create a political vacuum that has a good chance of being filled by the most brutal and unscrupulous, the ones who are willing to do anything to seize that opportunity.

History is written by the victors.

>But the bottom line is that when you destabilize the existing order

So, never rock the boat, never challenge the elites, always praise status quo that keeps the greedy, or murderous, or both in power?

No, not at all. There's a time and a place for violent revolution and all that. I'm just saying that people should be aware that when such social upheavals happen, it creates a power vacuum, and every single group that wants power rushes into that vacuum. The group that starts the upheaval is often not the one that wins this power struggle. And in this power struggle, the brutal and unscrupulous tend to have an advantage.
So - while there's a time and a place for destabilizing the existing order, but it's something that should be thought through extremely well first. And a study of history helps one to do this.

That has no impact on his life, he doesn't need to know it.
