If you have an uncommon song you know by memory, a poem you love, a quote you love, a melody you love, teach it to anyone who will listen: friends, family, strangers on the internet. Don't just make them listen once, make them really know it. If you have unread books, make sure they get read, save them to a hard drive or flash drive, loan them out to anybody curious enough to try them. If you have scientific or math skills, teach them to friends. If ten people know something, and each teaches it to another ten, the bastards can't touch what's a part of us all.
It may be of the very far future, it may be the near future, but at some point, some powerful person will try a great internet wipe in many countries of the world: a modern bonfire, in which most disappears of wikipedia, youtube, mental floss, open culture, coursera, ted, podcasts, blogs, magazine archives, the information storehouses of the future, anything with a hint of subversion. When there are too many things to learn that we can't keep track of them all, the people with the most power can wipe it out and hoard the remains for themselves without our even knowing it's gone. Knowledge itself becomes the prerogative of the few who will only teach what's necessary to consolidate their power over the rest of us.
But what exists in your memory has a chance of escaping any purge. Don't let it disappear.
