Recently I was wandering if there is someone or some group preserving , collecting , organizing and publishing all the knowledge of mankind ever created throughout its existence so that if ever mankind faces the 6th mass extinction we don't have to reinvent the wheel and can have a kick start to our new post apocalyptic civilization .

While its not all of Human knowledge it's a very important part of it, our history.

Ultimately if the goal is for it to survive societal collapse to the point where knowledge gets lost then books are a better bet than any digital storage. As such most large libraries hold the knowledge needed to take us up to the industrial revolution at least. Semiconductors is hard to teach in only text, by that point you really need the ability to produce the machines needed etc. But the underlying theory will be in a library. Also a lot gets proprietary and trade secrets when we get within the last 30 years and that knowledge won't ever get written down in a central repository until it's aged out of being protected.

Knowledge is not what make people distroy this planet though, or what helps against it. We know enough already

I read it, what I meant is: is knowledge the thing that makes our society nice? Or would it lead to the same shit we have right now, if its not accompanied by something else?
