In dath ilan they don’t teach history. Instead children are kept willfully ignorant about the past, and adults coordinate to make sure children don’t learn about historical events too early. Then, each year in school, they play in prediction markets to identify which historical events actually happened. “History” is not studied so much as used as training data used to get better at making accurate predictions under uncertainty.
If Project Lawful is canon, then dath ilan has intentionally forgotten its own history, so they wouldn’t have a very large data set for doing this.
(Keltham doesn’t know why the decision was made, but there are some hints that could be taken to mean that it was done to destroy common knowledge about AI in order to delay its development while secret labs work on alignment.)

Nice. Is there some post about dath ilan that establishes that (I don’t see it in Yudkowsky’s original AMA), or did you just make this up?
Just made it up by extrapolating from the dath ilan examples I’ve seen.
