There's also the case of, you arnt rich, noble, and from the ruling class that gives your words enough weight to even be considered less remembered at all.
A great deal many things have been discovered and forgotten and rediscovered. Because the first few times they weren't discovered by a rich enough noble with the power and wealth to spread the knowledge or even get people to listen in the first place.
In ye olden times. It took more then just being smart, you also had to be rich as FUCK or have extremely good connections if not rich as fuck. And in many cases you needed both.
Else you would be ignored, and die with any discovery or advancements you invented in your life.
But this is about philosophy, not society.
