What is the intention of studying past philosophers or history when humanity tends to repeat the atrocities of yesteryear?

The reason you read about past atrocities is so that you have a fun to-do list

So that you can watch current events unfold, take a sip of brandy, and say, “Yep.”

it's kind of wild, right? studying past mistakes is a way to try and avoid repeating them, but honestly, it feels like history is on a loop sometimes. maybe it just takes a while for the lessons to sink in.

I don't believe we all have access to a quality study of past philosophers or even history in our education system.

Agreed. I wanted to say something more along those lines as it does seem a subset of the total population is exposed to it. Perhaps that is the problem.
