Human beings are mimetic Not to be a pedant, but the criticism of history repeating (or not repeating) -human beings are pattern recognition engines, we follow Archetypal modes of behavior and thinking Both on a micro and macro level

This turned out to be a great thread. Appreciate all of the ideas. Do you have any book recommendations based upon everything here?
