Cool. Reminded me of a quote by Karl Marx that I saw referenced in lemmy. Searched for it:

Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like an nightmare on the brains of the living.
