When people do historic research and focus on a particular period where they think things were good, fair and rational, and things should go back to that situation, we have bias.

It's an interesting historical perspective, but how relevant is it to the current situation, and does it offer a way forward?
(It isn't and it doesn't.)

Feel free to try to change my mind.
