Greetings, Camp.
After a long day trying to create some sort of order in the library (a daunting task, I might add), I have several thoughts about the matter.
First. If we are truly the last humans alive in this version of our Earth, something
must be done to protect and preserve this intellectual history. Leaving these books disorganized and strewn all over the ground to collect mildew and insects is absolutely unacceptable. Our legacy as a species must matter more than that.
Secondly, what are the education levels of the people here? I’m aware that some of you are quite educated and I would ask you to join me in setting up some sort of educational system for those who are not. On the off chance that this group is able to persevere through multiple generations, we would also need to think about educating children, although that is, obviously, a quite distant concern.
Thirdly, I think someone should begin a chronicle of our time here. We should record our names, origins, our experiences since we have arrived...whether we fail or succeed this will be a priceless volume for those who come after us.
Lastly, I believe the library should return to its original purpose. These books should be available to all, but only on loan. No one should be able to hoard them, and reserve their knowledge only for themselves. Knowledge must be public and accessible.
[Telepathic to Natasha]AHA! I have found a cookbook that claims to be ‘for dummies’. Surely we could succeed with one of these recipes?
