Yes. Humans, just like information, are prone to bitrot. Every day your data is rotting, there's no stopping the entropy train, so most anyone who cares about it takes preventative measures by increasing redundancy. Man does this via procreation and perpetuating, hopefully, to other planets while Earth is habitable. Extreme stagnation is a form of degeneration as well as extreme change for change's sake.
