On one side I think we need to preserve this relic as we did with Homer's poetry. Because it just deserves.
On another side I think we won't (and should not) try to preserve in an infinite present whatever has been written by humanity. For what purpose?
I just listened to a great new episode (podcast) of The Truth (audio drama anthology series, they’re fantastic). It was called “The Joke.” Basically this archivist finds an old hard drive with a dumb pun joke - turns out she didn’t even understand it because jokes were no longer allowed in society. Kind of has an Equilibrium vibe but more bureaucratic and less “killing people for feeling.” Anyway the joke itself takes on great importance as a result. Bit of a dramatic comparison, but you see what I’m driving at.
