Also, writing:
I am impressed with what writing can do. If you can write or type or print and you can read what was written later, you can bridge a week or several lifetimes or several centuries. The book by Tom Wheeler "Gutenburg to Google" helps see the power of writing. Reading the very well put-together book "Einstein for Beginners" by Joseph Schwartz, I came across the word "hierglyphics". The book said that the word means "priests writing". That alerted me to writing. I found a Kindle book, "Hiero" for free with Prime by the ancient Greek Xenophon that is a discussion between a common citizen and the tyrant of the city concerning the pros and cons of life as the ruler. I get a kick out of the sophisticated points made and I think they apply to high-level rulers today, too.
