“Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.”

“Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” - Victor Hugo

This follow-up second quote I paraphrased from the late John Anthony West, who has been involved with fighting the mainstream establishment of academia in Archaeology, particularly related to re-dating of the Sphinx in Giza to pre-date the ancient Egyptians for several millennia. The quote may come from someone else, and I would love to know if someone does!

"The second most powerful thing however, is an old idea whose time has not yet passed."

I think we are witnessing the later stages of a massive power shift, and we can see that it is getting serious in the way the establishment fights back. They have however become complacent and ineffective long ago, so when truly tested they will stand no chance.
