The best way to illuminate the present is through the past using analogies.
Irony makes history a worthy subject of study.
Paradoxes, in addition to irony, are something that a good historian should always be on the lookout for.

Being Right
So I found another podcast that's worth listening to more than once.
Niall Ferguson was on the 'Waking Up with Sam Harris' podcast and he was dropping knowledge whilst talking about his new book called "The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook."
It's full of interesting bits about networks, hierarchies, and balanced, centrist perspectives, but there was one quote that stood out in particular:
"Sometimes being right condemns you to being in a minority."
Print that on a t-shirt and sell it.
No really, that's what Sam said right after Niall said that;)
Joking aside, I'd buy that shirt, and his book (which I plan on doing asap).
Happy listening.
