For a very long time information was and still is passed on via oral history in the form of stories and songs. I'd even guess that is what religion is just ancient stories of people trying to figure out who we all are and how we got here.
- atleastoptimal 3y agoWhat if the real truth of the universe has emerged a few times in the minds of random people but it isn't a pleasant truth thus isn't condusive to memetic propogation so it's been lost to the ages?
- reaperman 3y agoI mean, even in my org where we have massive amounts of detailed documentation on a relatively small system, a shocking proportion (majority) of the information needed to actually do day-to-day tasks is still transferred primarily through oral tradition. I think oral history is still the primary way for humans to communicate today. Especially if you consider things like Discord to be passing on "oral history", when a Google search doesn't surface the right info.
