For the Tralfalmadorians, history is something they can see but cannot change
themselves, so they are anti-activists. By having this point of view, history
is nothing they can learn from and so their self destruction becomes absolutely
inevitable. Life goes by and the Tralfalmadorians can watch their own life.
However, they are not capable of changing it.
I think I'm starting to become one.
