Lenin didn't actually say that so score another one for things not happening

the book of history is neither its pages nor its ink but the synthesis of the two. the blank pages are the decades in which nothing happens; the ink is the weeks in which decades happen. both statements "nothing ever happens" and "everything always happens" are true at once

Hegel always hated this thesis-antithesis-synthesis scheme thing

Psychological direction where the conclusion is "You don't notice anything that's about to happen until it's already happened".

I think this meme should finally settle the debate.
