We don’t usually think about this but literacy is underrated af.
I think it’s amazing that we can read the thoughts of someone who died decades ago, and then learn from their mistakes, and their successes. Or read their fears and hopes for the future.
On a related note, knowing English is amazing as well. There is a lot of old books in English or translated to English.
Funny how the only system which has historically always produced near complete literacy amongst its population is socialism.
Books are the most important weapon of Communism. Besides actual weapons.
