When will we learn?

We like to think so much has happened in the past 100 years. I don't think so.

100 years ago a car was more fuel efficient than today.

100 years ago people died of KOL due to particles in the air. As today (the difference is we now have a name for it).

100 years ago people were slaved under a capitalistic, anti-democratic regime, whose only aim was to make the rich richer. As today (but now the tyranny has moved from a national level to an international level).

100 years ago international conflicts were solved using weapons. As today.

100 years ago the landscape was changed by man, ruining functional eco-systems and replacing them with industrial farms. As today (but now it has spread from Europe/USA to the whole world).


The worst thing of all: We learned so much the last time, about how it should have been done, but non of this knowledge is used today. But now it's not only about a part of the world anymore - it's about the whole world and the very existence of mankind.
