Predictable Humans

The suggestion that history repeats itself is pretty well known, after all, it is well thought that Hitler would have won the war if only he had done his history (don't attack Russia in the Winter people!). We can't help it, we are doomed to repeat our lives and the lives of others. This is why I find the charts of this week interesting and where patterns can be identified, we relise what creatures of habit we really are. Of course the charts can't be taken as fact, there are no guarantees and a civilisation on a whole doesn't have a personality, a memory or conscious; It is not aware of the changing of seasons and so in most cases, it is simply described as a coincidence.

Others however, are deliberate acts, ones of choice and conscious decisions. This possibility the reasoning of post modern philosophy and architecture. Postmodern architecture is one of the most interesting of the recent era, modernism taking a massive leap of new ideas, philosophy and designs for only later and Postmodernism to bring the return of the ornament. A conservative cycle, lead by cause and effect pushed forward, being that that is the nature of new ideas.
