Replying to Callum

I know the Socrates quote you're referring to; it's a powerful one and 'shook' me the first time I read it. Powerful to see the debate playing out during the transition from an oral to a written culture (and from the side that 'lost').

And of course it's an attributed quote, as the word of Socrates was recorded in writing by Plato.

Thanks for the additional context.

I value the reference highly since it lends a rarely acknowledged phenomenon some academic credence. I have mentioned elsewhere that I think the flexibility of electronic text helps, it still has to deal with a drastically limited bandwidth though, and Emojis hardly provide an adequate compensation.

One day the prompts will end haha
