  1. The library of Alexandria, the loss of our ability to make Roman concrete until VERY recently, our inability to make Greek fire, and the delisting of computer games demonstrate that the loss of knowledge is absolutely something that is worth considering. That's why it is soo important to keep hard copies or multiple backups of everything that's important to you.

  2. Ā @TheDrumstickEmpireĀ  šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ It was the single largest repository of knowledge on the planet in an age when there were not a lot of knowledge repositories. And of COURSE we have lost more planet wide in 2000 years than in that single loss, but it was still heartbreaking. Like losing everything on the internet at once.
