What are some books for the feel that in 50 thousand years or less, languages will have evolved so much that present day english, and Shakespearean english, will be totally unrecognizable, and that such a vast range of quality poetic expression will simply be lost and never read again? No one, absolutely no one will know who Hamlet or King Lear was. No one will read the Sonnets. The greatest writer of all time will be diluted together with "ancient human history", and they'll probably just gloss over the entirety of our last 10k years as worthy achievements like "agriculture spawns", "writing invented" "first economic systems" "atom bombs" "early space travel" "early global communication (the internet)" and so on.

The average book will be like Fanged Noumena

>what are some books which create a feeling of grandiosity
please respect your fellow user's time OP; 20 words or less.
try the Hyperion Cantos, in particular the story of the Poet

all that will remain will be the massive stone monuments our culture creates, everything else withers away in mere centuries

the pyramids of egypt, the serapeum, the megalithic walls in south america, some of the easter island heads, the trilithon of Baalbek and related massive stones, are examples of such monuments of a civilization that was ended by a cataclysm over 12 thousand years ago

the only thing that endured from that civilization is the zodiac, which we do not understand, and certain arcane ideas which pop up in religious and esoteric texts

Greek has remained textually similar for 2400 years.

the future can only get more emotional. if you notice in a baby they are just a bundle of emotions, no use or function other than reactions, cry, laugh, sad, happy, smile. mostly basic. further into a developing society you remove any function or use of a grown adult in society and the only thing they will be stripped down to are their core emotion. maybe the future you will only get actors. a little robot in your head telling you what to say not to appear weird or else you'll get lynched for not being a sheep. if you have no use in society you can only activate your inner importance of ganging up on somebody, everyone knows how to think and they do best when thinking of other people. the future youve got only actors because thats the best way for you to feel an importance in yourself, everyone is naturally selfish

Is Ebonics the future of the English language?

Not really. Native greeks can't understand Homer or Plato, and they have to spend significant time to learn these ancient dialects.

Humanity survived millions of years using sticks and stones to gather food and build shelters. People really think that now with such technological advance we'll die anywhere soon.
>b-but muh climate change
Kys retard. That's not real, and even if it were, it would not wipe humanity. "Humans" will survive or reach, the universe's heat death, idiot.

>Do people really think

Y I k e s

We'll all be speaking Ebonics

Take your meds Graham

I don't know, Plato has survived pretty well in the last 2000 years, and I don't see how with digitalization things would be lost forever. They'll translate it, maybe

Homer and Plato are pre-koine.
Koine Greek can be understood by modern Greeks (assuming they've gone through the equivalent of high school).

This is a really stupid post and you are a really stupid poster.

>implying human civilization will still be intact in 50 000 years

He's kind of right. Humanity may be reduced to groveling animals, but we will survive climate change. Read last and first men

Why wouldn't it be?

50 thousand years? Even people 1000 years from now will consider Western achievements incomprehensible gibberish. They will wonder why we wasted so much time creating so much nonsense.

All of humanity will cease to exist within 50,000 years.
