Indeed. It's like we are always reinventing the wheel on a very cyclic manner. We go round and round to come back to the same abstractions.
I had to Google the quote, but it goes like "those who don't learn from the past are bound to repeat it". I am not sure if there's a way around it or some level or repetition is obligatory for things to move forward.
Maybe it's like the saying that you can't really give out advice to someone, because your advice also comes with all your previous baggage. But on the other hand, that's how we learn and transmit our knowledge across generations right?
I think there's some sort of true in all those "feelings" but we also can't deny there are also incremental change that persist over time... Hard to say.
