I flew in low to land at the Cairo airport recently. I could see the pyramids and the sphinx. Next I saw acres of vacant apartment blocks half buried in the sand, like a burial ground of ancient artifacts. Something’s out of balance here.
The biosphere will always survive in some form, if for no other reason than the preservation mechanism of evolution. But humankind may not survive in its unrestricted, destructive form. What will survive will be humankind’s intellectual library as a vast cloud called the knowosphere. It will be as enduring as the pyramids but will always be growing like a living being.
