Can’t comment on the history you’re talking about but I will say this “if you navigate by looking at the rearview mirror, that’s where you’re going”.

But we do navigate using the rear view mirror. When switching lanes, it’s valuable to look in the rear view mirror. And it’s generally valuable to look behind us to our blind spot. It can help prevent accidents. So… we probably should consider history when navigating our future.

Meh. Maybe you navigate by looking in the rear view mirror but its a far better strategy to look out the front windshield.

That’s why the drivers seat faces forward and not backwards.
