    We should probably all be downloading the website and printing off the important stuff, like how to make fire and why the sky-spirits get mad sometimes.

      Sort of defeats the fundamental purpose of a collaborative online encyclopedia.

      If I want a massive hard copy of collected human knowledge, I just go to the public library. I don’t need to print my own.

      But if I want to look something up on the fly (much less check down a bunch of citations), a thousand dead trees worth of printer paper isn’t going to deliver the goods.

      Should probably pull down a copy of Project Gutenberg too.

      Maybe there’s something of human output worth saving. If only so more fortunate future generations, should any exist, can pinpoint where shit went wrong.
