The most paradigm-shifting idea I was introduced to in 2023 was (to paraphrase):
***History isn't the study of the past, it's the study of why the world is the way it is today.***
-probably from the 2023 film *The Holdovers*

npub1xljul2wdhfmvr70v8s89knqp68ewt8sszw5uuuuzdj5ah098hclqdltvh8 (npub1xlj…tvh8) reminded me that it's in *The Holdovers*, which I watched a few weeks ago.
