When writing was first invented / it was seen as an unnatural removal of who we are and offloading it to an external tool. Plato warned against it, Socrates thought it lessened us by removing our pure ability to remember. But now, think of all the wonderful pieces of literature that have emerged since. Pinnacles of human achievement and essays, fiction, poems - because human culture no longer see it as an external “technology” - it is simply part of who we are
