Discussion

If we assume that people of all generations and places are approximately the same by default, what kinds of beliefs would it take to allow them to subjugate each other at such a grand and brutal scale?

People of the past were just as intelligent as people of the present. How can we prevent ourselves from making those mistakes again?
