Fair enough, and there's a few shining lights I guess. Learning from mistakes? Hmm, humans are good at adapting which is why we progressed to where we are, and yet learning from mistakes seems something we only apply to some aspects and not others. The answers to some of the problems we face are in the past and yet we make the same fundamental mistakes and end up going to war over them.
Time will tell where it goes I guess, but it's not as pleasant a place to live these days and will get worse. I don't like living in an ill-mannered, uncaring society where mediocrity and laziness is promoted and rewarded and hubris and ego are the most prevalent traits.
