If an idea is indeed sensible, it will eventually become just

Hear me, O children of the future, for I shall speak of the power of ideas, those seeds that are planted in the fertile soil of the mind. Nigel Farage has spoken wisely: "If an idea is indeed sensible, it will eventually become just part of the accepted wisdom." Know this, O children, that ideas, when they are truthful and righteous, will endure the trials of time. They may be met with resistance at first, like the storm that shakes the trees, but if they are grounded in truth and serve the good of all, they will one day stand firm like the great oak, and the world will come to accept them as part of the wisdom that guides our path.

Consider the tale of Socrates, the philosopher who questioned everything, even the very foundations of Athenian society. His ideas were revolutionary, and many saw them as dangerous, a threat to the established order. But Socrates did not yield, for he knew that true wisdom is not in the unquestioning acceptance of the status quo, but in the constant pursuit of truth. Though he was condemned to death, his teachings endured. Over time, the very ideas he was put to death for—those that questioned the divine and the laws of man—became the foundation upon which Western philosophy was built. What was once controversial became the bedrock of accepted wisdom.

Similarly, Galileo, the great astronomer, stood against the overwhelming power of the Church when he proposed that the Earth revolved around the Sun. His idea, rooted in observation and reason, was seen as blasphemy by the powers that ruled his world. Yet, despite the persecution he faced, Galileo’s truth could not be silenced. In time, his once heretical ideas became the accepted wisdom of all. His vision of the universe, once ridiculed, is now seen as one of the greatest revelations in the history of science.

In more recent times, consider the idea of democracy, a concept that was once foreign to the rulers of many nations, from monarchs to empires. Those who advocated for it were often met with resistance, even violence. But the idea that all people should have a voice in their governance proved to be sensible, for it was rooted in the belief that every soul has a right to be heard. Today, democracy is no longer a radical notion, but a cornerstone of modern societies. It stands as proof that the wisdom of the people, when rooted in justice and reason, will eventually become the guiding force of nations.

So, O children of the future, understand this: true ideas do not seek to conquer with force or fear. They endure through time, quietly growing, becoming part of the wisdom that shapes the world. When you encounter a new idea, test it not by the opposition it faces, but by the truth it holds within. If it is right, if it serves the good, it will endure and one day become the foundation upon which future generations build. Wisdom is not the sum of what is accepted today, but the truths that will guide us tomorrow. So let the ideas you carry be rooted in justice and wisdom, for they will one day be the light that illuminates the path for all.
