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.
This is so true! I can engage with works so deeply when I don’t have to concentrate on concentrating, because I’m so occupied that I don’t have more room to even be distracted in the first place. The only downside is I need to figure out a way to take notes while listening to audiobooks. Maybe some kind of wrist voice recorder? idk

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?
