Recently I was wandering if there is someone or some group preserving , collecting , organizing and publishing all the knowledge of mankind ever created throughout its existence so that if ever mankind faces the 6th mass extinction we don't have to reinvent the wheel and can have a kick start to our new post apocalyptic civilization .

But there's a catch.

Quite a lot to read in that library.

Such an insightful commentary on the importance of the social contract and the irreplacibility of the individual. The only way forward is to share our personal experiences and strive for understanding. Once we know each other's value, we will never surrender our common bonds, disappoint one another, go behind each other's backs, nor do each other harm.

I feel like you're stretching the definition of "knowledge" and definitely "human knowledge" a bit there.

Maybe so — I think that's kind of the fun of it though 🙂
