The Medici promoted humanism 
and virtue of knowledge 
until Savonarola’ conformism
when arts and science were abolished,
and optimism was gone.
Like many years before, Athenians gave up,
and optimism was too withdrawn - 
Socrates drunk the poison cup
The failures were due to the illusion 
of being smart, although, in fact,
there was some mind confusion,
and common knowledge lack 
or misconceptions - 
so were “unsinkable” Titanic
and straggle for perfection.
Or was it all perception?
What is the history of humankind,
contrasting many human sides,
or maybe history is blind
to see the light,
to see the flawed nature 
of science explanations
in human culture
of random observations
The truth is multiverse - 
so many histories 
of Universe,
and mysteries
of many stories :
one wins, one loses.
Who really worries,
except the juries?
