If we can maintain our digital knowledge for a hundred years after the fall, it may be possible for mankind to flourish again.

And that is why I use M-Disks, though my knowledge isn't as important. Microsoft, working with the movie industry, that requires large scale data storage, have worked to create a glass based data storage media. I'm hoping that before there is a large disaster, that they are used to store our technical knowledge, wisdom and culture. It wouldn't take many of them to hold the important part of the internet. Hopefully they are designed to be readable with simpler technology.

I've spent a number of decades working out an ecological analysis of how humans can adapt genetically and strategically to the changes going on as we transition from a tribal world to the "modern world" - Civilization. I have been working on the strategy book "Strategy For A New Human Ecology" and already published the "Genetics For A New Human Ecology". They are to explain how we can adapt, but your article is about preventing The Fall of Darkness. We have problems, but I think I know how to prevent that as well. The solution would solve a lot of modern problems. I posted it at https://working-for-the-future.medium.com/how-to-solve-the-worlds-problems-b3f757f2aaae. Basically, it says we only teach science, which is of great value, but that crowded out the basic lessons of philosophy that contain great wisdom and that our civilization is based upon. Can a civilization survive without the foundation it was built upon? The suggestion is to go back to teaching basic phislophy in grammar school, like it used to be. There is more though. The purpose of teaching philosophy would be only partly to teach wisdom. Even more it would be to release and develop natural human moral instinct, something science doesn't do at all. Check it out, you might find something interesting about preserving civilization.
