“To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.” — Marcus Tullius Cicero (who, frankly, would hate your FYP)
Scroll long enough, and you’ll see the pattern:
Someone on TikTok “discovers” a deep idea. It goes viral. Suddenly, Gen Z thinks they invented emotional labor, main character syndrome, or the female gaze. Ten thousand duets follow. Three think pieces drop. One explainer thread tries to link it to Marx.
We are a generation rebranding rediscovery as innovation — because we’re not taught to remember. We’re taught to scroll.
Cicero wasn’t subtweeting us from 46 BC, but he might as well have been.
And in 2025, his warning hits harder than ever.
