@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.

@Pistolenkind @RickiTarr history repeats itself because people refuse to learn. They keep doing the same dumb things hoping for different results.

Though I wish I could live off the grid. 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 |
@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.
