i 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.
