> In my opinion, some corrections are worthwhile.
The problem with “corrections” is that they obscure the truth. If you’re being given information and start forming perceptions that no longer map onto reality you’re actually in a much worse position to change or do anything about reality itself. It’s basically like you’re being lied to and misled. How can you fix the situation if you don’t even have the facts at hand or you’re not being made aware of the facts?
This problem has long been solved. Who decides what's correct? No one. Once you start censoring (censor, from Latin censere meaning ‘assess’) you're already sliding down the slope.
Yet humans are doomed to forget and relive history.
