On discussing perceptions of risk in an historic context yesterday
"Your perspective on Tim Price was really timely and delightful. The French have a saying: "plus ca change, plus ca reste le meme" which translates as the more things change, the more things remain the same.

"Your question 'is it not foolish' is a thought provoking one. Perhaps people do not like to remember history - or even acknowledge it - because it highlights one's foolishness.

David Fuller's view I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I think it is easy to forget or overlook relevant historical examples when we get caught up in the emotion of the moment.
