    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Lex Fridman's long interviews are absolutely fantastic. We never tired of watching them, regardless of their length. This particular one is eye opening. We always hear that history repeats itself through time, and it seems this is happening again in a sense. The sense is that we are living in a situation which can be compared to the time just before World War 1, a war which nobody wanted, but which started by inevitable moves between irreconcilable issues between the powers (then between the existent empires in 1914). And if we are living a time like that, can we avoid to fall in the same path? Or in the path that led to World War 2 when Japan or Germany invaded countries for "lebenrausm" as Russia's doctrine also considers a reasonable cause for expansion even taking areas from neighbouring countries. With the actual politics and epigone leaders like Trump around, or a weak Biden, what will be the actual horizon? The history lessons from the past can give us a good idea, and good advice. Again, a fantastic watch.
