The object of acquiring an understanding of history is to raise one's
decisions above "merely random".  Additionally, "history" is much
broader than the cultural-indoctrination crap they teach in school
(especially US schools but applies to all church or state sponsored
schools).

"I think, therefore, I am."  -- Rene Descartes
Sam, Sam I am." -- Dr. Seuss

My sig is a pun, which I thought rather obvious.  It has been getting
laughs for over six years now.

Descartes was wrong about duality.  But he was right about one thing. 
You have to start somewhere.  He started with, "I think, therefore I
am."  Which is not a bad place to start as long as you are aware of the
constraints this starting place puts on any conclusions based on it.

Your psychoanalysis is based on insufficient data.
