What I've learned is that history is the complex interaction of many, many factors, some obvious (distribution of resources), some not so obvious (climate). All of these factors act in concert to determine the course of human events. Unless you are willing to consider a wide range of factors AND plot them against each other, you're doing what politicians and Joe Public does: dumbing it [way] down and getting it [way] wrong.

I guess that humanity in it's current form will not survive the next 10 years, never mind the next century. Technologically we have lept forward, but as a civilization, the same hatreds that have been with us for centuries still have sway today. We have not changed, simply found better ways to kill eachother.

That the more things change, the more they remain the same.

or, in the original French:

Plus que ca change, plus que c'est la meme chose
