Is History Repeating Itself? A Scientific Dive into the Echoes of Time “History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” — Mark Twain We’ve all heard it. We've all felt it—that eerie déjà vu when headlines mirror the past. War drums beat again. Protests return to the streets. Pandemics circle back. Authoritarians rise. It's like watching an old movie with a new cast. But is history actually repeating itself? Or are we just seeing ghosts in the fog? Let’s dig in—not with superstition or vague philosophy—but through the lens of science , systems , and cycles . 🧠 What Does "History Repeats Itself" Really Mean? It doesn’t mean events are copied-paste from the past. No two wars, revolutions, or plagues are identical. But patterns emerge. Conditions align. Humans react—often the same way they always have. It’s not magic. It’s predictable behavior , driven by psychology , economics , power structures , and mathematical cycles . 🔬 The Science of Histor...

Unpacking the Paradox of a Planet Choking on Its Own Ingredients By Palyx | July 2025 Let’s cut the fluff and ask the raw question: If plastic is made from Earth’s own materials—oil, gas, carbon—why is it choking the planet? Shouldn’t Earth be able to handle its own ingredients? After all, everything comes from Earth , right? Well, yes. But also— very, very no . 🌱 Earth Gave Us the Ingredients. We Cooked Up a Monster. Yes, plastic is made from oil. And yes, oil is just ancient carbon, squashed dinosaurs and decayed plants stewing underground for millions of years. So far, so natural. But when we take that ancient organic soup and chemically alter it into synthetic polymers , we’ve crossed a line. We didn’t just use Earth’s ingredients—we hacked its operating system and wrote our own code. The atoms are natural. The structure is alien. Plastic doesn’t decompose the way wood or bone or leaves do. Microbes haven’t evolved enzymes for it. It resists decay, defies digesti...
