    If the the creators were serious about the monument they’d have put it far away where extremists couldn’t easily bomb it. They should have been able to foresee the rise of reactionary forces as the collapse neared.

    Still, plenty of time to make another.

      “The inscription read: 1)Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. 2)Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity. 3)Unite humanity with a living new language. 4)Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason. 5)Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts. 6)Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court. 7)Avoid petty laws and useless officials. 8)Balance personal rights with social duties. 9)Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite. 10)Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.”

      Half of them aren’t even clear like #8 which depends entirely on how much you value each. Maybe we should presuppose that our ideas are the best so we don’t poison future generations with our equivalents.of eugenics.

      Will need to make a bunch of them rather than put them where extremists cant bomb them - after all they still need to be accessible after an apocalypse. Multiple redundancy, make them cheaper, maybe less durable, but get them in so many places that there will always be a few left around. Maybe task someone with knocking out mass produced reproductions and swapping them out whenever one gets wrecked
