Im having the same feelings as when i first looked at code mixing user input and machine instructions: These people are insane for thinking you should try to correct this mistake while preserving the mistake. (Diabolical was the term iirc.) Reminds me of a different episode i had. You can tell stories or sing songs. You can carve illustrated stories in stone walls and create a physical place where one can visit the information. Hard work but doable. You can write or print on paper but you will need some virtual world to navigate or even organize the text. Book titles, series, index pages, library systems etc If you set fire to it you can unmake progress like never before. you can dump everything onto the internet as separate pages and use a search engine to somewhat make sense of it. This is not progress but it is amazingly cheap and after the hard work building the machines is done it is amazingly easy to publish. Any low effort unimportant information you can publish almost for free and access it almost for free. You could also make an effort to leave out all books. It could be just like the library but with a focus on garbage. No need to set fire to it. Most of it vanishes automatically. Then you could also create an almost godly llm index that does much of the thinking for you. People can buy the information for tokens. You can make it bigger and bigger which means both better and more expensive. A giant black box, if it was an ocean no one could sail across. Full of islands worth visiting if you can afford it. If you cant, well, you can buy a post card with a picture of it. While obvious the fascinating thing to me is how each medium replaces the one before. We gain things and lose others.
