Intelligence is no substitute for wisdom. Some individuals do learn and change the direction of their own lives. It’s each new generation that has to make a royal mess of things, usually because they don’t take the time to study the outcome of similar (especially historical) circumstances or disregard the outcome achieved by those who went before. Truly, there is nothing new under the sun!

A catch-22. If I remember a famous philosopher said you can’t move into the future without being doomed to repeat the past. – or something like that.

The future will not be what you expect. In some area.
