The idea of a story that starts with a bad potty humor joke being worshiped as classical literature in middle-school classrooms in the far future is... well, poo poo, I don't know how I would feel about that.

Their issues were also way more interesting than the Alpha Kids', with the possible exception of Dirk's. Karkat's reflexive self-loathing and compulsive, contradictory affection for his friends, Vriska's ego and self-esteem issues, Aradia's whipsawing emotional state and Terezi being Terezi were all fairly unique and varied. With the Alpha Kids, we get "Jane is sad," "Jake is dumb," "Dirk is a grandstanding, emotionally dead jackass who torments himself with manufactured copies of his own personality" (again, more interesting, but only recently exploited), and "Roxy is perfectly okay and awesome forever." It's kind of lopsided.

Probably where she gets all her information from. Being billions of years old and wandering around dream bubbles collecting information. She also knew about Doc Scratch and everything he did to Alternia in the same way. She's the equivalent of an in-comic exposition dumper because of that. She also knows Lord English's real name, according to the Meenahbound flashes. The only thing she explicitly said before that she doesn't know is Calliope's name.
