The digital era is not kind to preserving history.

Not just in terms of data preservation, but also in the amounts and the ever-quicker shifts of context. I can barely understand the controversy of the day on Twitter as it is, and I'm living through it. I don't know how future historians will make any sense of the data we do leave behind.

You could say the same about the slave trader statues or the army bases named after certain people.

That history is better preserved in a museum, not displayed front and center at present-day city halls.
