That Internet existed, until 1996 or so. It still exists somehow, but what % of the population at any given time do you expect will be reading Wittgenstein or Braudel, or looking forward to the next Witten's preprint? 10%, 5%, 1%? The scary thing is that now he have Fields Medal winners claiming that 2+2 could be 5 only to not appear as an asshole before the digital Robespierres.
