"My assumption is that revived people will be a smallish part of the population, and will add variety by keeping old points of view from getting lost."

This. I can't help but feel we are all too often swept into crazy herd behavior. And at least currently we seem trending towards fewer languages and more globalized intellectual currents.

What is that saying? The past is a foreign country.

It's very useful to have one-liners for important concepts like this, helps to keep the meme propogation going.
