By the time this would happen, one or more of several other things will have happened
1. Mankind as we know it is destroyed, lost, or forgotten, allowing old ideas to be thought of as new and creative
2. A suppresive regime will limit free-thinking or dispose of creative materials and past entertainment media, again allowing mankind to re-imagine it believing it to be "new." In fact, the suppresive regime isn't even necessary for this - evidenced by the character archetypes common amongst all/nearly all cultures.
3. Mankind will utterly wipe itself out through war or scientific mistake, or be destroyed by a different existence (God, spacemen, molemen, etc). At which point this is moot. Anyways, never underestimate the creative potential of mankind - it takes direct intervention to stop imagination and creativity, evidenced by little kids creating imaginary friends when they are bored, playing pretend, seeing monsters in their closets.[/COLOR]
Remind me not to think about this stuff while high.
OT: think about renaissance. No way this is gonna happen. If there's place for such things as infinite or the nothing, there's place for creations ad eternum.
