It's not completely possible but some possibilities are more likely than others. For example there is a pretty good chance that by 2250 or 2300, no one will be debating the western canon as all humans will be deceased.

Don't worry bro, when the lizards gain sapience in the CO2-heavy atmosphere they'll discover the works of the prophet Niall Ferguson at some point. The glories of Western Culture will be discussed for millions of years! There'll be diamond temples to Aristo-Shakespe-Sus (mammalian all-father of thought), heretics who follow the apocryphal book of Marx will be thrown in the tar pits, it'll be good times.
