>When you lose the ability to write, you also lose some of your ability to think<p>OTOH when you don't gain the ability read or write, you might just end up thinking with both sides of the brain in ways that generations of academics may not do very much.<p>Especially in cultures like some hillbillies who maintained a larger vocabulary without reading or writing compared to their peers in places like Boston where they had schools the entire time since settlement.<p>Twice is nice.
