    No. Failure to act now. Blaming history is not acknowledging the now. It’s how we got here but the failure is in the now.

      There is a weird division among populations who have a hard time distinguishing between historical analysis and understanding cause and effect, and thinking that it’s attributing blame and walking away.

      We understand the past to prevent such problems in the future. (Ideally.)
