Come up with something other than thousand-year-old ranting points (“Writing will make us forget and destroy culture!”) and maybe I’ll take you somewhat near your word.
“Glib snark is the norm nowadays: doesn’t that bother anyone?”
It’s the norm? You can assert that, without backing it up? That’s a very pat, snide remark.
I apologize for not going on at length to refute your many baseless assertions… but… they’re baseless. And boring. You repeat what came before. Your grandparents lost faith when your parents liked the Beatles (or The Who or maybe even Eagles). THEIR grandparents lost faith when crooners came around, and THEIR grandparents lost faith when coin-op music-boxes put the hurdy-gurdy players out of business, and THEIR … etc lost faith when heiroglyphics promised to provide comfort and security in the afterlife.
The world did not end, even if their brains DID run out of their noses as a result.
