I was reading about the run-up to the Great Depression, how things were dealt-with in prior recessions and depressions and what was done differently following the '29 episode, and thought "Geez, what was wrong with those people, don't they see what they were doing to themselves?". And as I watch WWII movies and documentaries, I'd say "Geez, what was wrong with those people, don't they see what they were doing to themselves?".
I figured "Hey, we are so much smarter than that now and mistakes are to be learned from and we'll never do THAT again". Well, I was wrong. Not just that we don't learn from our mistakes, but that many people knew we were screwing-up then and many see it now too.
There were many times that humanity could have gone terribly wrong at other times in our history and we were blessed with leaders that lead us out of trouble. Having leaders that are the right persons for the right times is such a crapshoot. It doesn't look like we've got much luck going for us with this crop of "leaders" we've put in charge.
