we learn nothing from history

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance"-Cicero 55 BC
"What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it." -Hegel, 1832
"Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results."-Machiavelli, 16th centaury

“Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.”-D.H Lawrence, 1929
read the dates of the quotes, especially the Cicero quote, it's not some modern revelation or some secret only historians know. yet we're running head first into a societal wood chipper and people will act surprised when things fall apart as if it came from nowhere. fukn weird.....Atlas.....

Thats cuz modern history on the tv and school books is largely from 1 veiwpoint.
You never hear about the critics or counterarguements of that viewpoint, and the important subtopics are mulled over.
