Posted ten years ago today: George Santayana wrote, "Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it." This is oft repeated, slightly altered, as "Those who do not know history are doomed...." History is a bitch. I think we repeat it even when we know it. There is a sort of communal akrasia of collective human will.

Santayana also wrote, "Theory helps us to bear our ignorance of fact."

But the iParasite remembers our histories without reference to fact.
