Nothing seems to be changing because it is all changing at once. We are all sedated by the gradual often barely perceived morphing of our world all around us. An induced somnalescence made more unnoticeable because of our changing WITH the world. This is why we need a historical perspective on our contemporary age. History restores for us a sense of the real changes that have and are occurring all around us. And it contains a warning about our future—of not making the same blunders we blindly rushed into in our past.
