History awakens us. Not Hollywood. Humans love to be redundant.

THANK YOU FOR THIS.

The basic failure is that of man. There is no such thing as human nature, there is only nature, and the human perspective.

Man thinks itself separate from nature, and therefore can learn to control it. But nature controls man. Man can manipulate nature, but nature is based on the laws of physics. man cannot control the laws of physics. those are immutable.

@thefranciswatts are you sure

@mrg00ddude exactly! that perception that we do not control our own destiny is weak! rather some would like to think we are this or that, awakened matter is manipulated at our effort.
