@zens@merveilles.town You have a much better grasp than I about the technical end of this(I had to look up what a spatial metaphor database was), but people do seem to have a hard time looking backwards and forwards at once. We go out into the world with the idea that the future has no limits and is wide open, only to re-make other's mistakes and find out what really works. We hold onto these hard-earned lessons, as we should, but maybe too much. Wisdom is having both mindsets.
