Hopefully we learn from our mistakes. But as I watch what is going on in the world I sometimes wonder if some people are prone to repeat their mistakes and not just once.
As I posted this photo I was also thinking of Barbara Tuchman's 1984 work 'The March of Folly' in which she illustrates how throughout history governments made stupid mistakes, knowingly, blind to warnings, and even evidence that the path they were on was wrong.
Because of arrogance and personal aims the outcome was the opposite of what was intended. Tuchman's arguments have not dated at all!
