other comments mention things like the "geat filter" and how (further) abandonment of the written word could become a class definition, these are not trivial speculations......many of us here will have experienced predjudice and bullying for bieng "overly" literate in school so the notion of literacy becoming a liability is reasonable, especialyconsidering that the president just finnished his first book, and it didn't go so well, so he might just save everyone from having to suffer as he has, and ban crayons.
