Definitely kind of a jerk but I genuinely believe it's a big issue especially in technology.
Technology and science isn't self-improving, we improve processes because it's passed on throughout generations.
The core of software itself in the past 20 years hasn't really changed much from the 80s.
Sure we have new languages and processes but it's just the same stuff repeated over again but each time bits are lost.
Basically we wouldn't know that an ongoing collapse is happening but everything would get slightly shitter and shitter with older legacy processes being unfixable once they break because none of that knowledge is being passed down.
Great video on this.

- mooseburger 7y agoNice! You're pretty smart. But you think me being a jerk is somehow relevant to anything? Hmm. A-.
