    My grandfather always said, “Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear”. I thought it was stupid when I was younger but holy jebus does it ring true these days.

      Heck yes but. Seeing is better but hearing is more efficient. Like, it takes less energy, portable, transmittible.

      So inevitably the hearing is gonna win. You’re gonna have this huge mass of people connected by hearing. And this relatively little bunch of people who sensibly stick with seeing, looking around going wtf.
