“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” ― Upton Sinclair

Not only are we doomed to repeat history, I think we get some sort of masochistic kink out of repeating it on purpose. Sometimes I think we're all just bugs in a cosmic jar who take turns being a different person or manifestation of carbon for eternity. It's probably the closest I'll come to sharing an opinion with Elon Musk. It's like we're a Sims game.
