Have We Learned Nothing From History – CIVILIZATIONS COLLAPSE ALL THE TIME
July 27, 2018
Are we, or have we.., set the stage for the next big collapse of civilization… Are we going down the same path of some of the greatest societies of all time, to our own self-imposed destruction through our very own actions, or lack of… Are we too arrogant to think we can learn from some of the most brilliant civilizations ever to have graced this planet, only to find ourselves in a very, very similar situation… And if so, what can we do to change it — if anything…
“I love studying Ancient History and seeing how empires and fall, sowing the seeds of their own destruction.” — Martin Scorsese
Have we learned nothing from the fall of the Romans, French who both once ruled with magnificent, huge empires — but still wanted more…Extended wars and the vast amounts of money that go along with such aggressive and brutal campaigns. Spying on their own leaders and citizens. Investing in huge amounts of money overseas — only to collapse under their own weight. And then there was Mesopotamia, one of the glorious civilizations of ancient times, that let war, pollution, overcrowding, and climate issues — that also bit the dust.

“Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” We have all heard this saying many times.., and is in itself pretty easy to understand. And the original quote from George Santayana’s book, The Life of Reason in 1905… “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
The simplicity and weight of this phrase is what makes it so powerful…
But no matter how simplistic this phrase is to understand — we humans have a hard time practicing what we preach… If we have learned anything, it should be.., yes civilizations, in fact, do collapse… Sometimes it is a complete mystery, as to why — like the Mayan civilization… And other times, they seem to implode due to their lousy leadership and poor management. Sometimes they just get too big for their own britches.
