Outside of technical advancements history is a pendulum. One generation fucks up and learn from it and eventually rebuilds. 1-3 generations further down the line the fuck up will be forgotten and they will be doomed to repeat it. Just look at the statement 'kids these day'. That's coming from someone that forgot they too were young once and did the exact same dumb shit.
That said I think we're saving up for a big one and perhaps the lesson will last longer this time.
I forgot about that one, but it is true. Just look at how many are pushing for a new cold war, just because Trump and Putin are talking and it hurts their feelings. Not even 30 years have passed yet!

I think about that all the time.
I’m sure it’ll make a lot more sense than it does now.
