About this Quote

Mitchell suggests that this type of thinking is "ahistorical," which means it ignores the lessons of history and also thinks that the future will be a continuation of today. Mitchell believes that this sort of thinking is limiting and ineffective since it protects against people from adjusting to new situations and learning from the past.
