This is a funny thought. In 5000 years, at least some crazy person will think the people of 2022 were wise/profound/intelligent/whatever. They'll look at the code minting NFTs etc, think deep thoughts, write wise sounding blog posts about the wise people of 2022. He/she won't realize we are... a bunch of... not very wise people...

In 5000yr archeologists will read Elon's tweets and conclude that politicians have always sucked.
