I want to agree with this, but I don't. We can't consider entropy to be a fundamental aspect of systems like cores of stars, air in a balloon, and bacterial growth, but not human systems. It unnaturally constrains our behavior, and the Universe.
-
What’s your point? Are you saying *History* is a *thing* out the in the world, existing on its own and with its own telos? That individual action and action is predetermined and agency a product of destiny?
-
My problems with *systems* and the idea of*human nature* is that it essentializes humans and removes the power of agency away from individuals who act and are acted upon by the constraints of their time. Institutions themselves are the product of human action, will, and beliefs.
-
History, therefore, is the cumulative product of human action and agency and processes of interaction with others, institutions, nature, etc. Contextualizing is essential, but to posit something like an underlying physical force seems like a displaced analogy to me.
-
Well put. I’ve never held with strict Calvinism. Yes, reducing the complexity of human decisions to a bunny sign necessitates oversimplification. Because it was a bunny sign.
-
And bunnies are very cute. Who doesn’t like bunnies?!

i had to screenshot this whole interaction cos we need more people with brains and intellect engaging with each other on twitter.

What about natural phenomena reacurring? Without human intervention? Wouldn't that be history repeating itself? Even without humans the universe has a history.
-
Without arguing for dichotomous positions, it seems rather important to distinguish between human and natural domains. Conflating the natural with the social & human has historically been a problematic means of naturalizing inequality, exclusion, and oppression.
-
It's also not at all what people are thinking of when they say the phrase. "history repeats itself"

war, authoritarianism, liberation, innovation... All humans

I think there was stuff that happened before humans
-
Past = stuff that happened (human or not); history (as a disciple) = a narrative retelling of the past centered around human experiences, interactions, struggles, etc. it seeks to understand & contextualize those actions and options vis-à-vis institutions and structures or power.
-
If the past wasn't recorded them you can't really say that it's repeating itself because you really wouldn't know if it was or not...IJS

It's easier for any human to say History repeats itself, they don't have any responsability in this sentence.
-
No one does. Whatever it is you’re discussing, seems to be the product of a grandeur and inexorable force.
-
Because humans are trashes. History is made by a "divine entity" and no one wonder if it's normal when children carry their ancestors' hatred

That’s why the saying is “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it”

Humans are flawed in very basic ways. Jealously, cruelty, sadness, anger, superiority, denial, etc. this leads us to make the same simple mistakes but in different shapes and colors. no matter the environment or people involved it’s always the result of being human and imperfect
-
what if being human is not at all like that in&of itself? what if we turned in wrong direction at one point of time (say, power structures formation instead of equality version) and that brings the worst of us throughout consequent history?
-
And we'll eventually find our way back to the right track? Humanistic, caring societies would surely raise better people?
#skeptimist -
I like that way of looking at it! Being truly “human” is something we as a race have strayed far from.. and we need to re-evaluate ourselves
