    Counterpoint, nuh uh.

    There are lessons to learn from the past. I’ll give you that. Those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. I’ll give you that.

    80% of humanity is too stupid to learn from the past.

    Letting them live in fantasy worlds of Make Believe causes no deleterious effects to you or to the Future.

    These people who consume this material will choose to voluntarily remain stupid if given the opportunity to make that decision.

    After all, to those to whom the truth would be misery, ignorance is bliss and it is folly to be wise.

      The problem is that “they” live in the same world as you. Which means that you’d be going right down with them, along with all your loved ones. Is that really what you want?
