There is nothing new
The Lindy Effect essentially states that the longer a non-perishable item has been around, the longer it’s likely to persist into the future.
Old things are often considered the best because they have been tested over time. If a book is still in print 30 years after its publication, it’s likely because it’s a great book. On the other hand, I sometimes buy recent books and often find them disappointing.
The notion that I need to stay up to date with recent events and news is, at times, one of the most foolish ideas that crosses my mind.
Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before and proved disastrous before, time and again. Do we need to keep repeating the same mistakes forever?"
~ Thomas Sowell
PS Of course there is some new tech inventions that are game changers , like MUSK space rockets. But in the business of people there is nothing new.
