I completely agree — it’s a tricky human challenge.

For example, (a) we’ve lost the knowledge of how the Egyptian pyramids were built. Maybe that’s okay, maybe it’s not. (b) On a smaller scale, we’ve also forgotten how to build quality horse-and-buggies, and that’s probably fine since we now live in a world of cars. (c) We almost forgot how to send someone to the moon, and that was just in the last 50-years (and that’s very bad).
