Do you have data to support that by any chance, I’ve heard old axioms, but nothing more than that.

I’ve heard old axioms, but nothing more than that.
- slg 5y agoI don't want to be a jerk, but if you want to play devil's advocate, you can do the research yourself. I am comfortable believing the old "those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it" adage without having a peer reviewed study on it.
- imwillofficial 5y agoI don’t take it as being a jerk, I’m just trying to question my assumptions in being intellectually rigorous. I’m failing to see how denying an event leads to repeating it, or the inverse, how accepting a historical event shields you from repeating it. Genocide existed before hitler, and I’m assuming hitler knew about some of it, so why didn’t it work there? This is a valid line of questioning.
