   Minus the shouty caps, I agree.   
      
   No book survives from the Greek philosophers that wasn't copied again   
   and again...   
   The more diverse copies you have on more diverse media, the more likely   
   one is to survive.   
      
   Digital duplication is simple. Plug in a new device, and rsync to your   
   hearts content.

   “It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of   
   intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on   
   intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since...it is   
   futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into,   
   we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every   
   criticism to the fact that it is not a truth-directed but a   
   power-directed system of thought.”
