You're onto a good start, fellow neoreactionary, but not nearly efficient enough. For Europe, which is best understood through pictures, you've missed the key word: specialization. Build enclaves of people, and use literate ones to proselytize and pray, so that the rest can work and fight.

That is so smart! Never been done before, that I know of. Very likely the missing secret to building the most possible utopian society.

How long do you think it could take to unlearn reading? I think maybe not quite as long as it took to learn. Two years, I bet. It's worth investing that, easy.

I didn't know Europe had pictures, but I know that pictures were invented in America... Have the patents been stolen?? Or if you mean it was some Americans taking pictures while inside Europe defeating it, that would be OK with me.

Update: For my podcast, I record myself reading my favorite am_U (me) quotes to Siri for my hourly show, and while I was listening to me on the subject of books and reading today I realized that people could also understand me a little to well when I am talking verbally. I started getting nervous. Is language itself the bigger problem?

I am enjoying this improv slam-poetry retelling of Huxley's Brave New World

I LOVE GUN VIDEOS, but please don't say I did a poetry! Poetry is straight to jail.
