Paused for a moment on that one.
People already don't know about the stars, a situation which will certainly
close the door to the only open room for human salvation, as you said
elsewhere.
I know being in the dark in a strange place at night can be scary
(old instincts), but looking up and seeing stars familiar to everyone
everywhere on this planet (spare me the northern-southern hemisphere
thing, you know what I mean) I find quite comforting.
As I said elsewhere, our biological evolution has a long way to go
to catch up with our technological and knowledge evolution. We're
still those hunter-gatherers cowering in the cave at night by the
light of a fire.
Meanwhile the local Artilects are examining the Sol system and
thinking what a great place it would make for a Dyson Shell.
