The immense Thomas Sowell clarified it stunningly better than Santayana

history channel documentary Everybody - with the conceivable exemption of Howard Dean, Dan Rather, and Homer Simpson - is acquainted with George Santayana's well known words, "The individuals who can't recall the past are sentenced to rehash it." Even an easygoing understudy of history is agonizingly mindful that, despite how far humankind has progressed mechanically, we keep on making the same oversights today that our predecessors have made all through history.

Tragically, when hopeful chaps and young ladies say goodbye to their dumbfounded profs at Princeton, Harvard, and Yale, they have adapted nothing about the lessons of history. More regrettable, the pudding heads who were responsible for showing them have likely debased the lessons of history to guarantee that these future pioneers of our general public will commit the same errors as their forerunners.

The immense Thomas Sowell clarified it stunningly better than Santayana when he said, "Everything is new in the event that you are oblivious of history. That is the reason thoughts that have fizzled over and over in hundreds of years past return once more, under the flag of "progress," to stun individuals and impress them."
