before the industrial revolution we built shit to last,
because it was expensive to build it, so you wanted to do it
right, plus, it left a sort of monument to the civilization
that built it..

now a days, the machines we build, the structures we erect,
the apparel we buy for ourselves and the information media
we use is all stuff that is designed to fucking ROT real
quick and be replaced with something more convenient
promptly. that’s very good in one way because it is not a
system that encourages stagnation, but it does have a
problem: what if this civilization falls and we enter some
kind of new dark age? what will be left of us? how will any
civilizations not from Earth known anything about us? how
will they listen to our music and watch our movies?

All that stuff that was built before the industrial
revolution that was built so well--where is it? I'd like to
have some.
