Zarathustra, Part 1, Section VII

He was wrong about everything. Allthough I agree that universal literacy is ultimately a negative it's for different reasons.

>>2861079
What is your reason?

>>2860850
Damn that's a redpill if I've ever seen one

>>2861079
Retarded people write retarded shit and less retarded people will believe it if the retarded shit is written well enough.

It creates another level of possible manipulation. Humans never needed literacy to manipulate each other, though. At least literacy starts to put people on some sort of even ground. Doesn't matter because of the black hole that is trolling and memes.

He read Hegel

No, it's the education system that is lagging behind. Obviously not in certain countries but the US system is designed to produce factory workers.

>>2860769
Universal literacy outside of the cities wasn't even a thing in his time.

I can actually sort of understand this sentiment, but at the end of the day literature and writing is only a more sophisticated form of manipulation and mistakes. If people can't read they'll just fall for spoken sophistry or their own emotional passions instead.
TL;DR Man will always be irrational and fallible

>>2863846
Literature and writing teaches man to think properly, but once he extracts his ideas from his experiences, they become vulnerable to debate.

Most people just don't debate then I guess.
