    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Rolf Degen

    To whom is it "most astonishing" that important cultural inventions "didn't emerge from state sponsored initiatives" ? What an utterly bizarre mindset to ASSUME AS THE NULL HYPOTHESIS that music / art / the alphabet / literature / how-to books / whatever come from the state.https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1225665850025185280 …

    The alphabet, one of the greatest cultural achievements, appears to have been invented by illiterate Canaanite miners, streamlining a set of Egyptian hieroglyphs. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24532680-600-who-invented-the-alphabet-the-untold-story-of-a-linguistic-revolution/ … https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/879971503282032640 … pic.twitter.com/tJ1tLwMCnc

        I'm more surprised that anyone else is surprised that the first alphabet was developed by illiterates. First shelter was probably made by a homeless guy too. First government by an anarchist. First money by the penniless.

        hell most languages are inventions of the poor, Korean alphabet is a weird exception (it was a top down thing designed to be easy to learn by their king so he could mass produce literacy)

        Man, Mussolini infected Europeans worse than I ever thought he did with that ‘nothing outside the state’ bs.

        I doubt that. The first shelter was made by very basic animals. First government was made by a warlord. First money by rich guys who needed to settle accounts with each other.

        I guess they've assumed that things like first alphabets and first shelters came to people from the God or something...

        Reminds me of this naive, object level traditionalism that wants to freeze practise in place at some prior stage, rather than preserving or even understanding the process that birthed it.https://twitter.com/jfburrell/status/1225063715290189824?s=20 …

        Rules come f/ masterpieces. Masterpieces do not come f/ rules. You develop a sensibility f/ deep contact w/ a body of art. But it can never be fully articulated. Rules are merely signposts towards that sensibility. Only modern art attempts to put theory before work. https://twitter.com/Trad_West_Art/status/1225025824342061056 …

        Logically, at some point in history illiterate people invented writing and reading. Or God created only some groups literate.

        Well most innovation has happened in the last 10,000 years since the rise of city states.
