Writing made information rigid, thus breakable, enabling the scientific method
Textual cultures, by making knowledge more rigid, enable the identification of discrepancies between theory and reality. This rigidity allows for easier detection of errors or misunderstandings, fostering progress. It also facilitates the organization of thoughts and communication, benefiting both writers and readers by creating an enduring record of thought processes. The shift from oral to textual cultures fundamentally alters collaboration and consistency, highlighting the value of written communication in enhancing ecosystems and creating more value in existing systems.
