Gregory's Server@RickiTarr It's also a "the grass is always greener on the other side" thing. There is no ideal world, not even in the past. There is only our own will, how we choose to live, and the wisdom of finding balance. We sometimes forget that we are still a very young species and actually still inventing ourselves. Sad that we are already starting to destroy ourselves in this communal youth.

@RickiTarr We can learn from people, but it is not the circumstances that ennoble or condemn, but the decisions that are made. Every time has its conflicts, and how we were able to resolve them is what we can learn from. Mainly because history has a tendency to repeat itself. @Pistolenkind @RickiTarr history repeats itself because people refuse to learn. They keep doing the same dumb things hoping for different results. I collect idiot aphorisms, and santayana takes the cake.

At least just hovering over the grid π To the extent we did before cell phones, subscription based, cloud shared, gps etc. However, I can't for a few reasons |
@Pistolenkind Right, we definitely can learn good things from people in the past, and we should, but not at the cost of ignoring scientific discovery. Good health and contentment aren't one size fits all.
