My father was a college professor who taught American history. He loved that “condemned to repeat it” phrase. IMHO after many years of reflection on this concept, I think that the reality is is slightly different: Those who can remember the past are also condemned to repeat it. The human race as a whole has not changed in any significant way since the last ice age. The more things change, the more they stay the same. When human nature changes, things may go in new directions. Don’t hold your breath waiting for that day to come. C’est la vie - deal with it. Most scientists don’t understand politics and don’t want to. Most politicians don’t understand science and don’t want to. Add it all up and welcome to the train wreck... pick your way through the mess with care and you may get lucky. Get out on the water and find joy in the moment when you can. Good luck to us all...
