/2 I can generally guess who it is who has posted about me by the nature of the emails I get. Jesse’s fans are more literate than, say, Elon’s fans, but more likely to mock what I have written about mental health, and more pretentious in general.

Me (idiot, barely literate): "These computers sure are seeming more like human beings in a way that are forcing a lot of uncomfortable questions about the nature of humanity on us!"

Philosophers and intellectuals (PhDs, decades of advanced study): "hahaha look! it's trying to think! how pathetic!"

A smart student busted me at the event in Rotterdam for betraying my own previous method but I think part of what makes this moment/movement unique is its post-literate nature, how it breaks with the book➡️ think tank➡️policy model which was more helpful to explain neoliberalism.

Honeybee hives, especially in urban areas, are mostly *harmful* to nature - and it's rather like promoting chicken factory farms to help us connect with wild birds. When will we become more nature-literate?

Read.

Even if it's minor stuff or reading articles about things I like (ex: nature, space, etc), I just read. I wanna keep my brain sharp and keep myself literate.

reading comprehension is in crisis. chat am i using too big of words? is force of nature an archaic phrase? how can i better reach the sub-literate like alex here?

the part that scares me most is literacy really begins and comes from your home. i was... preciously literate because of nature/nurture and kids grow up in homes today that quite literally don't have any books in them

In 1801, Appleseed moved into Ohio, traveling ahead of settlers to gather seeds from cider mills and establish orchards. Unlike most white settlers, he didn’t try to conquer the land or drive away Indigenous tribes. He shared their reverence for nature and learned their languages and customs. /6
Drawing depicting Johnny Appleseed, carrying a large sack over his shoulder and books. Appleseed was remarkably well-educated for a frontier pioneer. While he lived a rough, rustic lifestyle, he was far from illiterate. Historical consensus suggests he completed a common school education in Massachusetts before moving west. Unlike the majority of rough-and-tumble frontiersmen, he was fully literate. Eyewitness accounts described him not as a wild man, but as an extraordinarily polite, articulate and sophisticated speaker. He was an avid reader who traveled with a collection of Swedenborgian theological texts. He would split his books into single chapters to distribute to different pioneer cabins, creating a makeshift traveling library across the wilderness. When he returned on his next trip, he would swap the chapters out so the families could read the next section.

All dwarfs are by nature dutiful, serious, literate, obedient and thoughtful people whose only minor failing is a tendency, after one drink, to rush at enemies screaming "Arrrrrrgh!" and axing their legs off at the knee.
