We learn many lessons from history whether past events predict the future or not.
Are the lessons of history useful if we never get a chance to apply them in the future?

May not apply them directly but if they contribute to the collective knowledge of humanity I would argue it’s useful.

right, so even if i don’t apply them myself, as long as someone in the world does, they are worth passing on
