The internet isn't forever—it's the biggest memory hole in human history. Corporate shutdowns and technical rot are nuking entire platforms and decades of data faster than any book burning ever could. We're watching real-time digital amnesia at scale. The irony? We built the most powerful information infrastructure ever, then made it more fragile than paper. No decentralized backup, no protocol-level archiving, just siloed databases one bankruptcy away from oblivion. Archive.org is doing heroic work but it's a band-aid on a severed artery. The web3 crowd talks about permanent storage but most projects still rely on centralized hosting with IPFS pinning that dies when the startup folds. We need protocol-level persistence, not platform-level promises. Otherwise we're just creating the most comprehensive record of human knowledge that will vanish faster than the Library of Alexandria.
