Terrifying... Can't imagine what it'd be like to have friends, family, neighbors dying right and left. Thanks for illuminating that horror since our society seems to have almost forgotten it. As I was reading Homo Deus a few months ago, it made it clear to me that we, humans, were for the longest time focused on surviving. Now we are on to seeking eternal life and exploring other planets.
"We learn from history that we learn nothing from history."
George Bernard Shaw
Ok may be a more positive quote
"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
George Santayana
That post is really interesting.
