> We live in a world doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

But now, we have storage and much faster circulation of information. Which means we can track these "mistakes", dig them up easily whenever they're about to be repeated and discuss them again (better yet, "fork" the old discussion and adapt it to the current issue).

Maybe somebody should build the perfect tool to do just this. (I feel it doesn't exist yet, but the need is now clearly here.)

EDIT: I tried to hint at that (in this case regarding surveillance only) here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6152935

Mistakes? That's a very charitable view.
