Very, very good speech! I've never thought of that, but now you made me think, and yes, illiteracy is probably coming. Not in a few generations, no, but in a few tens of generations?

I would say that imagination is to cultural evolution as mutation is to biological evolution, becuase both generate variation upon which selection can work. Biological evolution could easily lead to processes which engender the imagination if it was adaptive, ie. imagination led to increased survivorship and fecundity. In evolutionary terms it must come down to numbers and ultimately: differential reproduction.

Wow, you are a bit worked up.

I agree on your point about phonetics represented visually through an alphabet. It was a discovery, uncovering, creative addition to our innate auditory mode of communication.
In almost all ways we evolve now there is a self reference in some way. Culturally as well as physically, with time being the major difference. Our physical impact on our environment is expressed evolutionarily in longer periods of time than our cultural evolution. So the alphabet can be considered a discovery.

Well spoken. Some people I think are irrationally opposed to EP. I like how you're trying to distinguish the different levels of understanding.

I have been checking in with you for a long time now and these are some of the absolute best videos you have had. Perhaps because I have just finished reading Mcluhans Gutenberg and Innis' Empire and Communications that these conversations really hit home for me.
