    that or thousands/millions of other books, essays, treatises, manifestos, etc. saying the same thing.

    it’s an indictment of humanity that we keep doing these same things despite it being so well documented and analyzed.

        i struggle to convince myself that the knowledge is useful when it’s so widely & willfully ignored.

        We pass down the what, but as history is written by the victors the why and the how are lost to the ages. Without why, we never truly understand how. Without how, what is sure to happen without contest.

          The how gets passed down to. The real issue is the propaganda is fed before the facts, and we all know what happens when you est sweets before dinner.
