The problem with studying History is that one quickly realizes that it seems doomed to repeat itself over and over

Yes. This is close to what I meant. I think that while things are never identical, there is nothing new under the sun. I want to know more about the things I might be missing, and continue considering what might be done about it.

If it repeats, one can prepare. I am not saying studying history is pointless. Just demoralizing at times 🤣

Very much so. I have to be in the right mood to handle it. The same with watching the news.

But we made it through. Thats the important takeaway.

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

Those that do know history are doomed to stand by screaming while everyone else repeats it.
