yes, hind sight is definitely not 2020, and too often now we see leaders, both in business and politics, talking about 'the good old days'.

In the UK a lot of the Brexit vote was fuelled by that misguided nostalgia I believe, and the idea that we would 'take back control' of what?

I'm a lover of history and a great believer that the past should be use to educate and guide us, but not to blind us by making us thing that somehow things were better in the past. The past has shaped us today and can guide us - those lessons should be used to unify, not divide, and I liked your point about considering how your past view might be divisive!

thank you for the read! :)
