Relying on society is too risky. Drop them in a bore hole, fill it up again. Done.

- jl6 5y agoI do worry about bad guys digging it back up again. The search for waste storage that lasts forever feels like the search for data storage that last forever. In the latter case, no storage medium is reliable enough in the long run, and the better strategy is continuous active management, moving from one storage medium to another as technology evolves and as old media expire.
