I think this is spot on. Another way of considering this feeling is that despite great minds existing for (probably well over) 2000 years, the wins of great minds may not seem as great as one would have hoped.

But humanity also has a less-than-stellar record of protecting wins & progress, and the forces that wish to drag us back remain ever powerful and vigilant.
