Cursive was born in Italy and then spread all over the world.
Not by chance the word cursive comes from the Latin "currere" - that which runs, which flows - because thought is winged, runs, and flies.
Writing in cursive means translating thoughts into words; it forces you to NOT take your hand off the paper.
A thought-stimulating effort that allows you to associate ideas, tie them together, and to put them into relation to create a thought in written form.
Of course cursive has no place in today's world, a world that does its' best to slow down the development of thought, to stuff it.
And no, it's not a coincidence that they tend to use it less and less.
Because it was compact, elegant, clear writing. Because it connects neural pathways that are only connected in this way.
And because AI cannot read it.
That "AI cannot read it" is a happy thing. It was unplanned, and subsequently has been eliminated from schools since AIs' introduction. Writing at all, is being taught less and less and when it is, only to a rather rudimentary level. With pictures, emojis, and emoticons being pressed upon us and easily adopted by the populace, (since most cannot read above a 4th grade level already) reading will also go the way of cursive and print writing.
Not writing in complete words, and also using words in an opposite manner from their real meaning, are all part of the planned systematic "dumbing down" of the masses. Soon, there will be no writing and then, no more reading.
Emoticons, emojis, and pictures (especially photoshopped and AI generated ones), are being substituted and promoted as PROGRESS. They are not progress, they are a huge step back hundreds of years.
Oppressively making sure that most people were not allowed to learn to read and write has been used throughout history to control people by what they are allowed to know. Just as the arts are being taken away (and systematically have been since the 1980's) because they require a person to think creatively and make decisions.
It's frightening. And it isn't an accident, happenstance, or coincidence, that they started targeting the preschool/kindergarten ages in the 80's. They started at the lower ages so that most would never experience it. Those kids, and the ones behind them in age, grew up and matriculated and are the adults up through early middle age now. The privileged few, whose parents could afford the time and money to get their kids "lessons", are indeed a minority.
And it isn't a coincidence of the rise of privatized soccer in the 90's, a pay to play fad that was pushed hard at the very young and directed what extracurricular funds parents had into that expensive funnel, instead of the arts. It wasn't long before there was a plethora of high cost - high time commitment - privatized team sports activities that were pushed hard upon children. Knowing, of course, that kids want to do what their friends are doing.
Now look where we are. It's already happened. We are in it. The youth, with the natural attitudes they have always had, are being told they are educated, when all they have been taught to do is pass standardized tests of things Mega Corp wants them to regurgitate. They then go on to the "for profit" colleges that do the same because they have made having a college degree a needless requirement for almost all jobs that are not in the customer facing jobs of the service industry, to accrue debt they will likely never pay off. So now, when they are told anything in just the right way, they glom-on, thinking in the way they were taught, and ignorantly lead the oppressive fascists to their goals.
Humans are group oriented tribal creatures and activities that teach independent, creative thinking like the arts, humanities, logic, common problem solving, and philosophy, at their core, facilitate connecting with, and understanding other people.
Our new world is about isolating and dividing people.
Look deeply into the motives of people (regardless of their jobs or titled positions) who are against, or are detractors, of activities that teach independent, creative thinking like the arts, humanities, logic, common problem solving, and philosophy - Things they want AI to do FOR you.
Do those people support the regime? Do they benefit from the new world order? Is their work and/or wallet greatly benefitting from AI? Are they incredibly wealthy?
As always, Follow The Money.
