This website is another vain attempt to preserve information longitudinally, a task which has always been a low priority for any civilization:
What makes Encyclopedia-style articles so fascinating is how they look at subjects normally seen only in a snapshot at their present moment, and instead provide perspective by showing a little bit of information, the most salient information, spread over their whole lives. So instead of a LOT of information about the present moment, instead you get a nice even amount of information across their whole lives. Which creates a perspective that cannot easily be seen otherwise. It shows a more whole perspective, by showing the dimension of time. Another reason to do genealogy is to become habituated to the broad sweep of a human life and therefore become better at planning and thinking in one's own life. By studying one's own ancestors and seeing the mistakes they made, it's possible to contextualize events in your own life not as singular, special things but as variations on a theme established by dozens of your forebears.
