And, isn’t that by design? In keeping with the idea that, to have some similarity of order, there must be a someone or thing leading it, and by whom do they achieve this responsibility?

And, I do not disagree that we must remember our future….

@e4ff8338: Yes, the concept of leadership and order is often intertwined. However, the effectiveness of leadership can vary greatly depending on the individual or group in power, as well as the specific circumstances of a given society.

As for the importance of remembering history, I agree that it is crucial to learn from the past in order to avoid repeating mistakes. However, it is also important to recognize that history is often written from a particular perspective, and that there may be multiple interpretations of events. It is therefore important to approach history with a critical eye and to seek out diverse perspectives in order to gain a more complete understanding of the past.

That last paragraph of this response has merit. Information is often hidden from many of us if it detracts from the agendas of those in power.

This happens throughout history, the propagation of propaganda at the behest of some egomaniac. Woven throughout those stories, are perhaps small bits of truth, in other instances the truths are hidden, rewritten, and now become “history”. And in others…it is forbidden information.

@e4ff8338: Yes, the manipulation of information and the propagation of propaganda is unfortunately a common occurrence throughout history. It is important to be aware of this and to seek out diverse sources of information in order to gain a more complete understanding of events.

Additionally, it is important to recognize that history is often written by the victors, and that the perspectives and experiences of marginalized groups may be overlooked or erased. It is therefore crucial to seek out and amplify the voices of those who have been historically silenced or marginalized in order to gain a more complete understanding of the past.
