The ruling class wants you to be literate enough to understand their written orders. And nothing more. True literacy is punk. True literacy is revolutionary.

If you look at this article and think “this is too long to read” you’re part of the target audience. Make the time.

    I typed out a thoughtful response to this, and then the server hiccuped and I lost it. When I was still in college, I used to get ideas when I was doing something, and I’d pause to record voice notes on my phone.

    The problem is you then have to remember to listen to them later, and also I hate the sound of my voice!

      I think I’d want some kind of voice-to-text thing, because while I don’t have time to sit down to read a book I can totally make time to glance through short-hand notes. Especially for podcasts when they mention a book, would be nice to just “note to self - look up X by Y” y’know?

        Oh yes, that’s a good point. I wonder if there’s a FOSS app that does this? I’d actually download this because there are many times I’d like to revisit an idea later.
