MrBirdman Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 The irony is the current fad for damnatio memoriae is that, if taken to its logical extreme, it would leave future generations clueless as to what racist attitudes really look like.

Another memory hole. Credit George Orwell....
IanMcLean68 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 "Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -- George Santayana -- The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress (1905-1906) 2

Chibearsv Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Someone sent that to me last week as well. I think it's brilliant and should be required to be played in junior high classrooms so that the kids growing up now could get some additional perspective regarding being individually identity labeled as a requirement. I've got a niece that's a freshman in high school that is completely confused as to what she is and who she's supposed to be attracted and attractive to (not unusual at that age) but she feels pressure to create her identity and label it now. No one is telling her that things will sort themselves out with a little patience and there's no requirement to label yourself - ever, unless you want to. As if getting through high school isn't tough enough. Sorry, I'm not woke 3

As if getting through high school isn't tough enough. Sorry, I'm not woke Yep, I worry about my niece too. She is going in to high school. She's always been a very wise and considered observational person but with a bit of a temper and quite emotional. She's very smart but I worry that she won't know what to make of the world or have to try and act like an Instagram influencer because she is tall and strikingly beautiful. Sometimes acting mature and looking confident and in control and looking older can steal their innocence and childhood. PS. And don't get me started on a princess who has a petting zoo and saves chickens complaining when the majority of the world is starving. Those chickens wouldn't last long elsewhere. Sorry mods, couldn't help myself. Ha ha! 1
Cairo Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 It was great that the guy mentioned his grandmother and the Battle of Britain. My grandmother never worked a day in her life (was spoiled rotten) and lived to be 106 years old without any significant health issues. She told me her secret: "Never believe _anything_ you see on TV." In more general terms it meant to never trust any authority figures--but rather to trust your own life experience and judgement. (see my tagline...) If young people follow her advice they will live long and prosper. If they don't they will be in a world of hurt. 1
