>the more I learn about history the less prone I am to invective and rhetoric
>the more I learn the more I am removed from dichotomous and perfunctory "good vs evil" historical interpretations
>the more I learn the more I understand that almost every single conflict, controversy, war and military regime in history have tenable and justifiable reasons for the actions on all sides and factions
>the more I learn the more dizzily overwrought I become and the less I know how to trust historical accounts and reports from any side of any argument on any conflict whatsoever, from the mundane to the most outstanding

How do I overcome this completely overwhelming feeling? I know that this likely a self-realization that is necessary and very uncomfortable for anyone who takes history very seriously, but this is a new sensation for me. How do you and have you all overcome this dilemma?

You don't
Embrace your wisdom and enjoy it

Embrace it. You're now smarter than 95% of people when it comes to history.

You missed the point about how every single historical event is linked and nothing occurs in a vacuum.
>>
You just stop giving a fuck and go on with your life. To be honest, just pick your bias and shill your side.

Like the first two guys said, embrace it. I actually find it quite uplifting, there isn't a "correct" side you have to pick in historical events, you can learn as much as possible and make an informed decision but there's always more to discover!

where's the dilemma here nigga
>>
I think I'm having a crisis like this at the moment. My studies and personal interests of history, biology, astronomy and psychology along with humanities has had a really profound effect on my look on life, I'd say it's significantly improved my life altogether.

By killing yourself

The more you learn, the faster you learn, and the more addicted you become to knowledge. Eventually you will amass so much knowledge that your wisdom transcends that of mere mortals. At this point you can no longer hold a normal conversation with a plebeian dirt farmer, and that is when you are inititated into the illuminati.

Roll with it, don't run away onto some dogma for security
