I agree! But I also understand that there is an awful lot to preserve that possibly would never be experienced again. Sure, they're preserved but if nobody ever sits down and listens to the record, does it exist? Is it worth preserving?

I believe in preservation but I also have a hard time justifying the rationale. To what end?

If things keep going as they have been, there will be more people in the future available to stuff from the past than there currently are.

This is true even if the population flattens out.
