Memory, or rather the act of, taking stock, reflecting, etc., is something human beings are forced to do, just like the basic human desire to procreate. It is also the basic tenant of our awareness that separates us from animals. It doesn't matter if we are speaking of an individual or of every person in china. Unfortunately, just because you stuck your hand in a fire 5 minutes ago doesn't mean you won't do it again 10 minutes later. The reason being is that some people are not only stupid, they are stubborn to the point that they will refuse to 'change their ways' even in the face of their own death. Ultimately, it is up to each and every one of us to 'learn from our own mistakes' and as well, has nothing to do with groupthink.
