History Think Blog

History Think explores how we understand the past, how stories shape us, and why free inquiry still matters. The project was inspired by the fate of the Chinese blogger Ruan Xiaohuan, creator of Program Think, who challenged censorship and paid a heavy price. His story is a reminder of what happens when facts and open discussion become dangerous.

Here, you’ll find videos that look at history from unusual angles, question familiar narratives, and connect past events to the world we live in now. From power and propaganda to culture, memory, and mythmaking, the goal is simple, to think more clearly about where we’ve been and where we’re going.

If you’re curious, skeptical, or just tired of recycled takes, you’re in the right place.
