I bring up the historical precedents of a lot of what we see and people will often tell me \u201cI wasn\u2019t a good history student\u2026.I\u2019m not much for names and dates\u201d or something of that sort. At best I\u2019ll get the classic saying \u201cWell, you gotta learn from history so you don\u2019t repeat it.\u201d Yes, but\u2026NO.&amp;nbsp; It\u2019s so much deeper and richer and more complicated than names and dates, for one thing. For another, be careful what you \u2018learn.\u2019 Some of history\u2019s worst catastrophes started with \u201cobvious\u201d conclusions about what had happened in the generations before.&amp;nbsp; This podcast is all about the real reasons to study history, how to approach it, and how it might be one of the great hopes to save humanity.
