What’s the famous quote? “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

I think there is a certain accuracy to that statement, but I feel it also fails to recognize the human element involved. We know history now. The average person today knows far more than anyone in the past knew about history ever and yet … We continue to make the same mistakes as a species.

Some people just want to make change regardless of direction. We feel restless when things are going too well for too long. Even if it’s bad change we seek change regardless.
