“We are fond of talking about ‘liberty’; that, as we talk of it, is a dodge to avoid discussing what is good. We are fond of talking about ‘progress’; that is a dodge to avoid discussing what is good. We are fond of talking about ‘education’; that is a dodge to avoid discussing what is good.”

No I am not.
But you could be. Growth mentality.
I’d like to think the purpose of learning about the mistakes of the past is so we can avoid repeating them.
