History does indeed repeat itself... it just takes a few generations to forget context and facts.

 Usually only the names change...

Same herd mentality so easily steered by organizations, businesses, politicians and the power hungry with motive.  Where is the critical thinking? I suppose the human race has never had much of it, because it's hard to go against the "experts" and their backing.  It is just the rare person who will seek it out and then be pretty much powerless in the face of sociopaths on their way to "greatness."  The meek shall inherit the World.  (After the "experts" get it profoundly wrong or overplay their mania again... and the masses put their foot down)

This is another piece of history not taught in the textbooks.  "Science" is an evolving grouping of ideas, always challenging itself, always being tested.  These days censorship has degraded science to opinion.  Just like it has so many times in our past.  Replication, debate, transparency and honest statistics light the darkness.  Anything less is a cultist dogma.  My two cents.
