> As with Pompeii graffiti and warehouse cuneiform tally tablets, from the anthropological perspective, the ephemeral is interesting. It's only interesting after a looong period were it was very much uninteresting, causing so much to be destroyed until what remained became interesting as a rarity. I think it's very likely that process of destruction is necessary to make past ephemera valuable.
