      1. Today's radical idea for massive societal change: abolish written mail, &, for that matter, use o'the writtenword for communication entirely. All msgs must be delivered in person by human messengers who can memorize the entire msg, like the Greek who reported the BattleOfMarathon

      Like, what would happen if you built a home without a mailbox, mail slot in the door, or mailroom? As in, made mail completely undeliverable to yourself? How would society handle that case?

    Slight tangent, but a related thought: Jesus was able to see the humanity in the tax collectors of his time because they were actually human. Today's "tax collectors" are inhuman algorithms. (N.B. I still support taxation; this tweet is about the dehumanizing effects of tech)
