Once you understand social psychology and politics at a high enough level, isn't the study of history just... extra facts? Is history, dare I say it, the least /lit/ of all academic fields?

Better view the study of historyit as the meat and potatos of social psychology and politics.

How would those two exist without a thourough understanding of history?

Once you understand the metaphysical properties of the universe, isn't the study of social psychology and politics just... highly specific details? Is western knowledge, dare I say it, purely materialistic and lacking in reach?

Once you attain direct knowledge through experience of the nature of consciousness, aren't the metaphysical properties of the universe fairly... intuitive? Is formalized thought and communal organization, dare I say it, purely the result of ignorance of one's one conditioning and the way it operates dynamically with others?

If we're being honest, yes it is. Look at any interview of the top chess players in the world - they're higher on the spectrum than anyone you'll ever meet, and very few of them seem to even enjoy playing.

Easy answer, give us your high-level understanding of social psychology and politics.

You have it the wrong way around. Literature provides a superfluous filigree to make fictional stories appear more life-like in order to communicate readily accessible observations about life and society. Once one has an understanding of psychology and politics, history becomes the only literature of interest.
