Trying to find an article about the extreme lasting value of Text
So I read this deeply inspiring article/blog post which discussed in detail concepts such as hieroglyphics, compressibility, comparison to imagery, lasting value, communication per bit value, explanatory power, non-degradable characteristics of the text format. And more.
I really want to find it again, but seem to be having trouble. Would appreciate anyone's help; I know one of you here has also read it, and if not, when we find it, you definitely should.
Thanks so much!

- NobleLie 11y agoThanks, these all look interesting but weren't the original source I was looking for. I'm adding them to my reading list regardless u/brettkromkamp found it. Always bet on text!
