I'm sure by then, if we survive as a species, English and even Ancient Greek writing and nomenclature will be a long forgotten relic. There will be fragments of myths that recall long lost myths of this era.

Yeah, I mean there will always be some stuff - like "we started writing about 4 billion years ago", "internet was invented about 4 billion years ago" and "Our species closest ancestors evolved about 4 billion years ago".

Maybe. Maybe writing and the Internet will be reinvented several times over in the next 4 billion years.

Climate change is inevitable. If humans weren’t here, the earth still would have gone through changes. Surely we have expedited the process, but would have happened regardless.
