Here's something even sadder. We only need history because human lives are so short.

I mean... Even if you lived forever one person can't remember everything

I can't remember what I ate last week

Then we just wouldn't ask that one person about history.

Which, to bring some happiness into this, we are the only species that we know of that can record our history, no matter how short our lives are. So since most of our content produced now is tik tok, that will be our new history 😁😀😀😬😐😕😥😭
