That bottom map looks like someone stepped on Iraq.
I didn't expect anyone to make me laugh on this topic, so congrats!
Honestly these types of maps always have something to laugh at, when faced with the inability to act it is best to laugh rather than stew in rage and misery.
I've been giving it my best. I keep learning more history to see even this is nothing really new. I get more disappointed that we never learn for long.
Plenty of folks learn and hold onto knowledge it's just that we are kinda in the minority. I blame the massive population boom of the 20th century, too many people not enough facilities and resources for even education. Combine that with the fact that the massive leaps in communication technology meant people have had relatively little time to adapt and you end up with massive issues. When my great grandfather was born in the 1920s radios were an uncommon but spreading luxury and people still used telegrams as a primary form of long distance communication, when he died a couple years ago fiber optic was being laid in front of the barn his father and grandfather built with at the time state of the art electric lighting.
