This week, we dive into the world of history, why it matters, how it shapes our understanding of society, and why ignoring it can be a mistake. Taimur shares how he went from not caring much about history to realising its importance in making sense of the world. We chat about historical consciousness, the limits of a purely tech-focused mindset, and why context is everything.
