>Everything’s been done before. The scenes change but the behaviors and outcomes don’t. >Your personal experiences make up maybe 0.00000001% of what’s happened in the world but maybe 80% of how you think the world works. Contradictary. I think that the second is completely wrong. Not that any of us watch in real time everything that is happening. But certain patterns remain the same. For example, when I was an 8-year-old kid, my father would always say the lines of tv shows and movies a few seconds before the actors said them. I asked him how and he said it was because they were all predictable and said the same thing all the time. I said, "No, you watched the tv show/movie before." And he said, "How could I have watched it, this is a brand new episode, right?" And he had me there, because it was. Of course, I can now always say the lines in movies before the actors do, because, my dad was right - lots of shit is the exact same and predictable as hell. I don't need to see 100% of every single tv show or movie to know what they are all about. Pretty much I do understand 80% or more of what's going on in the world through my 0.00000001% seeing stuff that I do see. The older you get, the more everything becomes the same fucking shit, day after day. Someone wrote this shit about 2,500 years ago: What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
