But it seems we no longer want to learn anything from history. Very sad. For if you don't know the past, you can't understand the present let alone the implications of present decisions for the future that evolves therefrom.
That is a conservative presupposition that transformative, left progressive ideologues wholly reject. Such folks have no "history" that reaches further back than their breakfast....
But that sort of thing, to my mind, is a total flight from Reality.
I very much relished reading Oren's Ally. It is extraordinarily informative. I will very likely read his Power, Faith, and Fantasy in consequence.
