    I say with the utmost seriousness that this may not actually be wrong, even if it's unpleasant in the present.

    If human civilization endures a few more centuries, the current age of capeshit can and will be revisited with historical curiosity, and maybe re-enactments.

      Counter to that: there are huge gaps in the historical record on culture. Whether the MCU is remembered 1,000 years from now depends more on storage method than quality

        A lot of modern data storage is flimsy, prone to loss, or even intentionally lost. We're in a very brittle time that may leave remarkably little precise details of what happened and why, just strata layers of plastic trash.

          Remember when Rome fell and there was an absence of historical documents immediately afterwards so great that we called it the dark ages? Yeah can’t relate

            Baghdad had a bad time when the Mongols showed up too.
