"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it", George Santayana wrote, but "those who fail to learn history correctly... they are simply doomed" Gene Roddenbury added in the  lead into Andromeda episode "To loose the fateful lightning." This treatise is a collection of my personal thoughts, experience, and study of human history from Mesopotamia forward. History has repeated since the collapse of the Sumerian kingdom's in the Sumer wars long before the Trojan war presented as the first great military conflict. Pattern of social collapse has remained remarkable fixed despite the chaotic nature inherent to humanity; not just despite but because of it. These essays will not just track the contemporary repeating pattern that has destroyed ever society, started ever war, and is the sole result for what Churchill describe in the sinews of Peace speech as "the incalculable human suffering", and irony of what I intend to show in these essays on historical periods is why the "Sinews of Peace" is popularly referred to modernly as "Iron Curtain speech." Humanity is catastrophically fixated on the emotion of fear which has lead to spiraling self-fulfilling prophecies which cause the chaos which that creates fatalistic ordered behaviour across the social stratus of Earth.All Rights Reserved
