The word I would use to describe this is, beautiful. Being able to place in order, casual or niche ideas that would become relevant up to 100 years later - as the effect of hundreds or even thousands of people reading them and discussing them in a modern context - is really striking.
Many of these ideas (alexander, feynman, NASA typography) are the kinds of insights that were only available to a rarefied audience at the time of their publication, but would go on to be the foundation ideas for really significant cultural changes. I'd say this has relevance well beyond this forum.
