I’m not arguing with that. We can and we will preserve some information. We must not be obsessed with saving everything. Imagine the humankind in a million years from now; if we pick 10 most important facts about each century, that will be a hundred thousand facts to remember. Maybe we develop abilities to know and use them all, but from a modern human perspective that’s already too much. Now, can you reduce the XXI century to 10 facts? How much of those zettabytes of information would be worth keeping for a million years? For ten thousand years? For a thousand years?
