Who cares if some old books are being destroyed?
No, seriously: Who cares?
We’re all rightfully protesting, but who’s actually buying those books when they see them at the used bookstore? Who’s taking the time to read them? Who’s learning the dead languages they’re written in?
Anthropic is simply taking advantage of the greatest neglect of our times: our disinterest in the material culture that sustains our civilization.
Damn them.
And damn us for being weak and cowardly and letting our past and our heritage be sent to the slaughterhouse while we keep scrolling.
