How the fuck can a turtle jump?

Like any other animal that has the skill, but it actually makes just a short jump while extending its really long neck.

was a 4 achieved by 2+2 or 3+1 ?
objective history begins after this problem is solved

no

such an endeavour is impossibly

history can't be separated from the one telling it

Must I imply I should research several versions and judge by my inexperienced self?
I know some EBM but I'm not sure it will help at all.

So I'm hopeless?

>So I'm hopeless?

yes, even if you were given a video of everything that has happened, you still couldn't see through bias-- your own. objectivity in history does not exist.

Well, I'll just have to lower my standards.
How about searching world history books from neutral countries who don't forward propaganda?
Is that close?

there are no neutral countries, nor media that isn't in some way propaganda. but ok i'm not going to lecture you on politics, I'm just going to recommend you read history from the world systems people or from the annales school.

I recommend "Before European Hegemony: The World System A.D. 1250-1350" or stuff from Braudel or LeGoff, just check their bibliographies and pick topics you like. Braudel has overarching stuff like 'A History of Civilizations' or more specific stuff like 'Civilization and Capitalism, 15th–18th Centuries'. LeGoff is more abstract and focused on medieval stuff, I know his historical stuff is good but I've only read what he wrote about purgatory.

This made me sad, but I'll rather know.
Thanks for the recommendations.

collingwood's "idea of history" gives a nice overview of how philosophies influenced historians, profiles all the important historians and philosophers of history (until 1940s)

Sounds nice, I'll check it out.
