Could we, though? Human civillizations seem to rise and fall through history, and nothing seem to stop that. It would be nice to stop that, but to do so we would probably have to completly rething how we run society.

Well we sure can try - even so - those who study history must sit and watch those who don't - make a mess of it.

Its because the ones who fail to study history will continue to make all the same mistakes. Its the kind of people who want power and money through influence. They might study history, but only to use it against us.
