This essay is on history, in three parts. We first A. scratch history six ways: we as history, then history as before us, followed by three, history as intersubjective, four, history as indirect transmission of the new, yet five, history as warning on the new, to six, history as correct, ever. These six fabulous scratches are followed by B. What to say about history, in three points, our confidence in what is said, from time to history, to quiver in awe at features of history, C, in praise of history as core and essence of our existence as inter-existence throughout historic time and space.
