Yes, but my point us that repeating "humanity learns" can lead us down garden paths into thinking there is some species-level recollection, when history reveals a mixed bag at best.
Completely agree transmission of knowledge is a sticky wicket. Good reminder to stay logistically grounded. I have found many of the ambitious thinkers close to me tend to aspire to a "humanity learns" moment but if they're anywhere near politics they tend to be tempered fairly well by the logistical realities of bringing ideas to pass
