@OctaviaConAmore @qurlyjoe @obfusk One reduces agency and further enslaves to corposcum, one increases agency and autonomy.
It's a rather bad comparison.
Ironically, I'm pretty sure no one would remember Plato & Socrates if no one had written the works. All that's needed is a single generation with mass deaths from some disaster (how about the plague?) for information to disappear permanently when not written (or even when written but only in one place, there was a fire after one wave of the plague too).

@lispi314 @OctaviaConAmore @obfusk And then there’s the longevity of the storage medium. Many data stores just from the beginning of the computer age are no longer readable. Print on paper lasts a little longer, about 600 years, with the right paper, or clay cuneiform tablets around 4000 years or more—still readable.
