This time out the Fawkers discuss the past of humanity and lost civilisations, debating whether a similar fate could await the present day us. Knowledge is power and past civilisations have had both, so why is there so little of them that remains, and how could they have achieved the things that they did without our current model of science and scientific understanding? Perhaps this is just a case of history repeating. A bedtime story for you to tell your robot grandchildren perhaps?
The Fawkers typical brand of humour flourishes throughout, expect tangents.
