it means that if you can't remember something, then you do not know to avoid it.

for example if you cannot remember that you will burn your hand if you touch a boiling pot, then you do not know to avoid touching it.

it is the same on larger scales, for example many different people have tried to take Afghanistan by force, if the governments who send their troops in cannot remember what happened before, then they are doomed to the same result.
