"The case for forgetting is not cynical. It’s strategically practical. Every ancient tomb humans have ever marked has been opened. Curiosity is a more durable human trait than caution. A warning might be an unintended invitation."
“Curiosity is a more durable human trait than caution.”
I and we needed this today-tonight now more than ever. Your mind is an incredible cavern of treasures, be them anchors to tether us or lighthouses to guide. Thank you.🙏
The Future Library, the Ice Memory Foundation, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the Rosetta Project, and the Frozen Zoo are unlikely to outlast humanity. Onkalo is the only facility designed to outlast human civilization. Onkalo will be equivalent to the 'Fortress of Solitude' (the crystal cave) of Superman. In science fictions, we imagine that great civilizations should want to leave behind a legacy so they will known and remembered after they are gone. As a species and a civilization, the humankind has de facto decided that Onkalo will be our greatest gift to the future.
If you think this is not right, maybe we should do something.
This is a gem:
