"The tradition of all the dead generations

weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living"

- -Karl Marx

CB: Better for the living generation to go through and learn from the trials and errors of dead generations in the unreal fantasy of a nightmare than to actually go through them in reality. The big advantage that humans have is that new generations can learn from the experience of past generations without going through those experiences as hard knocks.
