READING, WRITING

Read for 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that the reason Sumerian script (along with Egyptian, Asian & others) survived is that they developed a way of cataloging and retreival of data.  Harari then gives a recently-discovered account of a student who lived in Mesopotamia, and who was punished by caning for various infractions, among which were speaking a different language, and leaving without permission.

I honestly don't know how this plays into the development of written languages, and Harari leaves it to me to "apply" the lesson.  I suppose it illustrates how severe discipline was thought to help students learn, even in circa 2000 BC.

Today could be D-Day; or Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

If, by Friday, David has not called, I will begin the search for work.
