This is kind of a disturbing quote. Memory fades, over time. And the
only way to let those after know what has happened is through either
writing it down (ie. history) or speaking it to youngsters. Plus memory
warps the facts because the observer remembers events in a light
positive to his or her own way of thinking (kinda like it is implied
that history does) and that view crystallizes as the years go on.
Who said this? Because they are one of those dangers to the gene pool I
used to rail against.

The gene pool in the twenty-first century has been corrupted. I am the
chlorine.
