My point is that we could organize us in a way that history could provide additional depth but that the essential decisions could be made as well without the knowlege of history.

That “could” is doing a lot of work for that premise. We are currently structured as an amalgam of disparate chains of systems interacting with each other in loosely defined ways.
If you want to take the ability of sovereign entities to self determine, then sure we “could” organize in this way.
But we don’t have a god emperor of earth, so we will need to rely on this loose consensus instead of a dictated one.

Why does it have to be dictated? People can freely organize in a democratic way.
The problem is that people may join just because it is better, without fully supporting the respect towards others that is needed in such a system.

Things don’t happen that way. “Can, may, could” means that there will be pockets of people that don’t subscribe to the ideology and undermine it.

That’s the challenge. I still believe that it is possible.
