Fundamentally I share that optimism. However, I am a bit worried that the main 'solution' that I hear about is some variation of 'remembering the past' and 'education'. The reason why this worries me is that 'remembering and learning from the past' is probably exactly what people have said throughout history and yet we still had WW2/the holocaust, relatively recently. What do we do when 'never again!' keeps happening?
I don't think the lesson is that learning from our past or being educated is not effective. So far at least in some regards we seem to be moving 'forward', however vague that statement is. I'm just worried that it's not effective enough.
