Further I would claim that one of the Nazis, perhaps subconscious, goals was to exterminate the Jews in order to cycle time back to a moment before the revelation of the innocence of the victim.https://twitter.com/Ahimsa_Satya_/status/1040995423140306944 …

This is something AJ mentioned last night that I've been considering. Human nature does seem to be repetative. For example: I personally know a few guys who have screwed me over in the past, I now don't trust them, because I know they will repeat that bad behavior.

I was definitely taking the macro physics view, time is linear and I do agree humans are imitative. I guess this could be seen as a cycle? I'm not sure where to put all of this yet. I do however still strong believe: history does not repeat itself.

There is a sortof subconscious imitative movement in society that can account from some sort of cyclical behavior but it’s not that it can’t be transcended.

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

When I say history is repeating, I’ll clarify -there are clearly recurrent micro and macro patterns of behavior that arise across centuries across every culture and society Do literal events and reasons for them repeat? No

Do themes repeat reoccur? Absolutely they do -using the example from the “World of Yesterday” -We believed in progress, people believed in progressivism more than the Bible There was a sense that savagery and massacre of the past was behind us

And I see that’s where we are at right now with Pinker etc and the end-of-history beliefs people commonly spout.

Great example -Were past bad things happening, were more civilized, were less cruel, look at our progress!! That has been said before. And extreme violence and death follows it
