Missed it by that much

This week has been health and family first. The rest can wait.

I’ve had several conversations over the course of the week that have me thinking about repackaging a couple idea’s into an upcoming post:

  • The Literaty – the idea that there will always be a deep underground group of active readers.
  • Proficiently Literate – that as the US drop below 50% proficiently literate, what’s going to happen?
  • The rise of government during the rise of literacy = the reduction of oligarchy as literacy rises. What happens in the other direction?
  • I want to learn more about serfdom. I have a feeling there’s something in there that has some parallels to what we’re seeing in the world. I just can’t put my finger on it.
