Summary

This quote suggests that throughout human history, both individuals and governments consistently fail to learn from past experiences and make decisions based on the lessons of history.

The implication is that humanity often disregards lessons from the past, leading to a cycle of repeated errors and missed opportunities for growth and progress.

In bed that night I invented a special drain that would be underneath every pillow in New York, and would connect to the reservoir.
