Very Apt

"Historiographies that overstate's man's capacity to construct a reality reflective of an ideal justify increasingly ineffective yet wholly unjudgeable attempts to micromanage people's lives. It is up to historians to open men and women's eyes to the truly staggering dimensions of human ignorance, to which no amount of power, whether divine or democratically channeled, is equal."

I love this paragraph. Well said.
