Isn't that what makes something like genocide so horrid. That not only a people are being erased, but -if the machete wielders have their way - the very memory of that people? When talking about memories, it makes no sense whatsoever to claim that they are still "there" when no one remembers them any longer.This wasn't about memories. It's about the fact that every single person to walk the Earth lived or is living, independent of humanity.
There are millions of people today who no one knows exist. That doesn't change the fact that they do.
