I'm not a religious person, but already a couple thousand years ago the bible folk rightly identified that there is nothing new under the sun. Or as BNL eloquently puts it, "it's all been done before."
I don't know how we could ever quantify it or qualify it, but I would guess that most ideas stick around.
