And still we collectively make the same mistakes over and over again. This is not what I'd call learning. We don't remember much from the past because we were not alive, we don't read much about it, the available knowledge is extremely sparse and biased. I only recently understood the scale of the generational knowledge loss. We tend to intuitively associate longevity with old age and all of its quirkiness and frailty, but if we solved ageing, being old would not be a thing anymore.
