I love it. Literally burning down civilization to generate losses from slop. This reminds me of the Simpsons Halloween episode where Homer gets a taste for his own flesh and eats himself to death.
Maybe the Library of Alexandria didn't burn, it was digested.
The market has solved the what do with excess knowledge problem.
