Can’t help but think of the mounds and mounds of books discarded at Florida’s New College just this week.

The loss of knowledge absolutely guts me when I think about it. The library of Alexandria alone makes my heart break. All the rest of these is just… ugh no words

In all likelihood we didn't lose anything from the library of Alexandria
It was meant to house copies of texts that already existed but a lot of the time they kept the original and sent back the copy

My soul aches for the knowledge we've lost. We'll find the knowledge again someday, when we need it, but imagine where we could be now if we evolved as a whole

There are many solemn and grief filled moments across human history, but so very few fill me with the anger that was the annihilation of so many libraries and so much knowledge
