We now have smartphones, we fly, we live longer, more comfortably then ever before. But are we really becoming more enlightened than our ancestors? Generations after generations making "modern versions" of the same mistakes, again and again. Religious extremism, racism, financial crises, propaganda, manipulation etc. appear regularly in history, with disastrous consequences. But do we learn?
NO! We remain a species of largely uneducated amnesics! And then we are shocked by Bin Ladens - when they are actually modern symptoms of our perpetual stupidity!
