Is History on Repeat?… A Lively Chesapeake Forum Discussion

April 28, 2022 by Spy Desk

Hans Kuschnerus

Are those who ignore history doomed to repeat it? In Chesapeake Forum’s two-session course, “Does History Inform Current Events”, starting Thursday May 12 from 10-11:30 am, participants will examine the potential outcomes of present U.S. attitudes towards its “political enemies” to determine how strong history’s influence is and should be. The class will be held on ZOOM, $20.

It is easy to fear that current national and global events are willfully negligent of obvious parallels to the past. Why is that? Whose fault is it? Societal train wrecks like the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan have occurred too frequently throughout history, yet lessons learned, or not learned, do not help us prevent a repeat of such calamities. Assuming we determine that history’s lessons are too often ignored, or even blocked, what steps can we agree on that would make history’s lessons more influential?

Instructor Hans Kuschnerus is a retired Electrical Engineer who spent most of his career in IT at Ford Motor Company. Hans was an early adopter of computer controls, including putting the first micro-computer onboard for vehicle engine control. Hans was assigned to Europe for 5 years where he learned that much of the user acceptance of new technology is culture driven.
