Yeah.
You know, one thing that really struck me in that Postman book was that before, you know, radio and television was invented, there was no way to be a reader because there was no way to not be a reader.
If you knew how to read, you had to.
That was the only way to get information.
And so it's only now that being a reader is optional that it really can be an identity marker.
And we are seeing...
you know, with some young people that there really is this drive towards more analog technologies.
It seems to be a backlash to living in like a digital age where everything feels ephemeral.
You know, I spoke with the head of the Cleveland Public Library, and he was saying that the young people that come in, they want a print book because they want something that feels like tangible and concrete and that they can hold.
So there certainly is that countervailing sign.
No, it's funny.
It's sort of the ultimate irony that like we talk about this
technology that's just, you know, going to destroy thinking or whatever.
And it's text, or at least now it communicates with us via text.
And so the point that I tried to make is that we are actually living in a time where there's more text.
You know, AI has led to a threefold increase in the number of books released on a
Amazon, more scientific papers being published.
And a lot of this text, you know, at first brush kind of appears polished and professional and, you know, something that you might trust and take in.
And so that's why I think it's sort of more important than ever to cultivate your powers of critical thinking and discernment because AI is creating this super abundance of text and we need to be able to sift through it.
No, and I think that that has been true for so long.
