If we throw out the old textbooks, how will we know if we have a truly new idea? The best you can do is invent a new theory.

jokes about shapes aside, i think modern science accepts that text books on psychology and world history are the culminations of the greatest thinking. how can we forget what we know about world history? it has been a long hard struggle to capsulize it the way we have! as for psychology, it is a changing field but again we have put much long hard study into psychology so that we can have arrived where we are at now. deal with it!

Psychology books, well I guess you could develop a new science. History, don't think you can rewrite what has all ready happened. As inacurate as some history books are they are what we have to study the what created the situations we now find ourselves in.

Because history tends to repeat itself.
Regardless of whether or not there are books that remind us of what had happened, things will still happen that will replicate instances of the past. Ignorance will not improve the state of the world, knowledge will.
...get with it.
