Those who forget what came before
Are doomed to make the mess once more;
Those who remember every blunder
Get to watch and softly wonder.

My atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image, to be servants of their human interests.

@Otis_Scops That's a horrifying thought. Unfortunately, people often gravitate toward a strongman when the economy is bad and they are struggling with the after-effects of disasters. I've seen this pattern again and again in human history. I kept thinking of the quote by #GeorgeSantayana (from 1905): "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
