My preservationist heuristic: anybody who wants to tear down statues, blow up monuments, erase names from buildings, burn books, or obliterate the past in any way, is an enemy of civilization and a bad actor.pic.twitter.com/UOPbiJDyLB

I think it's important to distinguish things like buildings/monuments from things like books/films, because you can write new books without destroying the old ones, and the same is not really true for buildings in a city centre

Would that I could. But I think the people of a city can change their city in whatever way they think best suits their changing needs, and if you want cities that remain relevant for millennia, this is needed

I just want to differentiate "Destroy this because the past is bad and should be forgotten" (terrible), from "This is a shame but this building no longer fulfills its purpose and we need to replace it" (necessary)
