As you said, you need someone to change everyone through new socal ideologies. In that case, the chicken (active force) comes first to produce the egg everyone else will feed on. Does the actual society play a role in shaping that person's ideals and clear vision of what could work next? Probably. He/she would have eaten the (rotten) egg of present society, realizing why it tastes bad and why he needs to give the other (passive) chicken a new one.(yeah, chicks eating eggs, I realize how bad it sounds but whatever, that's the image I went with lol)

About the "moral of the story" : it's similar to "History is written by the winners", and a change in society will also be dictated by that one successful person... In that sense, it is unavoilable that the other thinkers, even if their vision are shallower or not what is needed at the moment, to be knocked down by the winner. Hmmm... Maybe what Edison did was just natural after all, eventhough he forced it rather than being "the best" objectively (if it's even possible to be objective about talent... or whatever Edison was acclaimed for).
