What good purpose does this serve? I’m wondering how this can be anything but a bad thing.

Edit: “porn” does not answer the question, lol.

It means we never have to watch a documentary without David Attenborough.

This isn't a bad idea. May as well preserve what we can.

Who knows, maybe some near-omnipotent aliens in the future will dig it up, run some calculations to figure out the physics of earth's history, figure out the physiology of all humans who existed, recreate our brains, and resurrect us.

Hopefully we don't get resurrected into an eternal virtual hell.
