the internet archive operating in private instead of public solves your problem, no?
- malermeister 3y agoNo, because if it's in private, I can't access it. What good is preservation of knowledge and culture if it can't be accessed by anyone but the select few?
- kmlx 3y agoi don’t really understand the connection between “publicly accessible” and “preservation of knowledge and culture”. these are usually distinct subjects.
- malermeister 3y agoWho is it being preserved for and why? For a select few, as a bragging point? Or for y'know, all of humanity to preserve their heritage? If knowledge and culture aren't accessible to the vast majority of people, they're not being preserved for humanity. They're locked away from humanity and they might as well be fully gone.
- kmlx 3y agowith this comment you're basically dismissing most museums, universities, archives, etc etc
- malermeister 3y agoAre museums not publicly accessible? That's their whole point as far as I'm aware.
