I don't suppose you can be faulted for having that view of history.

It is a popular view that has been engendered by the way history has been taught in our schools--both private and public and at most levels.

If you consider an individual person suffering from alzheimers disease, I think you can get a good idea of what it means to be a person that doesn't have a comprehensive knowledge of their society's history.

It has little to do with tradition--in fact, it is the other way around. People who don't have a good knowledge of history are stuck with traditions and other illogical beliefs with which they are guided along the corridors of time. Someone, younger than them, pushing them in their wheel chair as they slowly and gradually evaporate into a world of nothingness.
