That already happened many times in history to many civilizations. Knowledge was discovered and lost, and rediscovered years later or never.

Yes, I hinted at that. And each time that civilisation fell. With the next occupiers of the land left to find it.

Do we really want to put ourselves in the same situation?

We are already in that situation and it's far too late to prepare for countermeasures. The only culture we're leaving behind is our garbage.

I disagree. However even if that were true, that’s more of a reason to learn more instead of less.
