I'll see your January 12, 1729 (Burke, his birthday) against your 16 December
1863 (Santanayo) and claim that this is a timeless issue.

It has always been this way.

But the consequences of getting it wrong have increased.

P.S.: I picked Edmund Burke because he was the oldest guy I found. Many, many
others say the same thing. Newton said he stood on shoulders of giants. Let's
not stand on their ankles.
