4. Worse now than we're capable of. 1918 didn't get figured out until years later.

Science in 1918 was just discovering microbes in water, nevermind in humans.

Those who want to control the future lie about the past. Those who want to control the future will shut the learning doors behind them, defund the means by which 'the masses' can obtain information. Whether it's futures trading or science, or systems to improve our freedoms, health and welfare, the powerful will never give you the means to know how to be like them. When it comes down to history, they actually never have.

Information is the new currency. Currency is power. So banks are still the powerful. If the sins of power in the past are not known, no one can know when they ambush humans again. It can be through LIHOP or MIHOP (Let It Happen Operation, or Make It Happen Operations), next it's who/what they'll point to as 'the enemy over there!' What's more profitable than humans and the theater of suffering. War, selling children; work, slave, sex, and orphan trafficking Sell and resell. Multiple trades until you literally 'use up' the commodity. Or gouge humans who need help in the enlarging "natural" disaster capitalism world.

We not supposed to get better, by design. We're supposed to forget what others before us learned. Then be surprised, or despairing, when it happens again.
