Forget about talking to grandpa to remember lessons. Most Europeans who fought in World War 2 either participated in or experienced the horrors of World War 1 or had live family members who did.
The chimp brain of ours is highly over rated in what lessons it can learn from blundering about. The more complex the issue blundering is garaunteed no matter what lessons are available and who tells a good story. Look no further than Afghanistan. No lessons learnt.
The only thing to do when things get too complex is get out of the room and run for the hills. Let the buffoon class who think they have a handle on complexity because of their grandpas stories blunder away. When the dust settles return and rebuild.
- fighterpilot 5y ago"get out of the room and run for the hills" This is a good lesson from history. The Jews who stayed in Europe say that it crept up gradually, an actual slippery slope, and this is one of the reasons they didn't uproot themselves until it was too late. If you're not a member of the majority group in society and you feel a fomenting hatred towards you, it's probably a good idea to sell your stuff and run away quickly. The downside of a false positive isn't that bad. Fortunately in modern wealthy countries few have had to do that in a rather long time.

What if you feel a hatred fomenting towards you but you're still the projected majority for at least a few more years? Lolol jk jk please don't take this seriously.
