The past teaches us today that the human being is the stupidest species that inhabits this planet, other than improving, he gets worse and worse, no mouse would build a lethal trap for himself but man has thousands of atomic bombs to destroy the planet hundreds and hundreds of times because one time is not enough for him … A species in which less than one percent play with the life of the remaining 99 percent because more than 90 percent let them do it… This is what history teaches us, most likely it was not the dinosaurs that deserved extinction…

Are you kidding me? There needs to be a video on why the past matters? That’s why we teach history class.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

I like to think this way too. I would like to add that history likes to repeat every 100 years.
