Collective memory is a form of identity creation. A way to create a point of view that can be adopted by others in the future. That’s how you engineer read/write/append access to it. This is now becoming untenable except as solipsism.

To quote myself: narratives tell archetypes how to evolve, archetypes tell narratives how to curve. Narratives become indexical to self perpetuate by enabling identities with rewrite permission. Soon: all history is revisionist, all integration of memory is appropriation
