    Hello, Elias here.

    I wanted to bring up a couple things, the first being a quick plan of action.

    We have some solid sources here, but we have yet to pull it together into a final form. I hope that we can set up some sort of correspondence as far as actions to be taken, because I don't anyone to get left behind on this project.

    To be quite frank, my main issue insofar as actually winning the debate is that we have no solid footing whatsoever in terms of actual research because in reality, our side of the debate is scientifically wrong. For this reason we basically have to use sources that are by their nature partial. It is going to be difficult winning this debate but in projects like this phrasing is everything.

  • "For the last five centuries, ever since Gutenberg made reading a popular pursuit, the linear, literary mind has been at the center of art, science, and society. As supple as it is subtle, it's been the imaginative mind of the Renaissance, the rational mind of the Enlightenment, the inventive mind of the Industrial Revolution, even the subversive mind on Modernism. It may soon be yesterday's mind."Because our brains can no longer think beyond a tweet, we can't write well. And we can't read well either. The idea of reading—let alone writing—War and Peace, Bleak House, or Absalom, Absalom! is fading into an impossible dream.
