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 …

Too many people looking around not enough looking up. We can transcend our local historical quagmire. And I think we only continue on our non-thinking herd movements as long as we keep thinking they proceed like dominoes.

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
-
Thanks for clarifying. I do believe these cycles can be broken but it is a rare and revolutionary moment.

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