This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Those who study history are doomed to repeat it with elaborate justifications.

        Those who study the past are doomed to repeat it only because we're outnumbered and shouted down by those who don't care about the future.

        History repeating itself is a manifestation of species insanity proved by continuing to do the same thing and expecting different results
