Look ... no offense to you intended but what point is there to preserving a culture? Why do people have this fascination with living in the past? Move into the future daily. Our species doesn't advance by just sitting still. The world, heck the universe, is constantly changing and we must change to adapt. Don't we see how idiotic it is to deny climate change?? Preserving your culture is for textbooks and museums. In real life we advance it.

We like our culture because it explains who we are, as well as having great aesthetic value.
