Anthropocene epoch-what is the role of literacy in the environmental state which exists today

[David T]

This is a topic that rapidly becomes a conversation about nothing but I will do my best to try and not be that. My question literacy is generally understood as the end all of end all in culture. I tend to take the view it's a powerful tool, that becomes a virtual reality talking about if we exist in a virtual reality. Like a mirror reflecting of a mirror reflecting of a mirror. The is dangers in literacy if we are not aware of them, we tend to create literate structures and those structures become the reality with little or no feeling. One could say religion today believes that an orange has flavor, the atheistic view there is no evidence, the agGnostic is uncertain all three have taste buds that have atrophied. Does literacy lead to a kind of atrophy of how we experience?

Literacy helps us see beyond our front door and our perspective. I do not think your orange example has any merit.

It does?

There is no front door in pre literate perspective. So doorness is very interesting to me.

I turned on the threshold and walked back in to learn.
That all truth starts in a book that I heard.

click clack, the printing press did go,
Like a clock in a tower, it believes it Does knows.

That what is written is the reality it sees, clickity clack onwards it proceeds.

All truth starts on a page, click clack said the press to the sheep, clickety clack freedom from the man, clickety clack you are now a bigger man.

Clicmtu clack went the iPhone of god, clickety clack is now sent and is silent on its digital form.

Clickety clack clickety clack, and just like that, a new printing press is created clickety clack.


Literacy is not breathing it's devoid of breathing. Although we can say in literary form do not forget to breathe. But that's a pitiful existence like yoga class I do say. We have to actually stop and practice to breathe.

Ok poetry, does it require literacy? I say poetry is older than literacy so no. Music does it require literacy? No it's older than language itself. Repairing a car? Literacy is required although experience is also a requirement. So here in the auto zone forums dedicated to Chilton auto repair perspective I have to say knowing how to repair a cR is not the end all of end all

. . . Apparently not.

Well, at least you made your prediction come true.

Clackity-Clak.

Well my feeble attempt to shift the structure a bit!!! Leonard Cohen addresses this a lot in his music, which as an art form is older than language. Artists bump into it all the time and by golly if there ever is any agreement between the domains of religion and science is someone who doesn't follow dogma. They both agree that individual is a heretic in religious lamguage, crackpot pseudo sciemce in scientific language. Sometimes it's true sometimes not true btw.
