There's this george santayana quote:
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Yeah.
But if you actually read the book, you only have to look at the previous sentence
When experience is
Not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
To realize that it doesn't mean what everyone thinks it means.
Hoh. So it's actoally a point about 'savages" without historical records
Right.
It's not about people today who don't read
Enough
But that means
People who don't know the past of that quote are condemned to
Repeat it. Incorrectly.
Though, in fairness, its history has no bearing on whether the shortened quote is valid
I don't want to understand the
World. I just want
To be right.
