The alphabet matters because words that use it matter to the cultures that use these languages, and without the symbols (alphabet) with which to express those words to others who are far away, or across the years from us, we literally cannot express ourselves and be understood.
Why is this controversial? What other culture on Earth questions the value of its own symbols to its own people. I assure you, the Chinese choose to learn ours as well as their own, rather than question the value of their own.
This kind of deconstruction of reality--questioning the value of things developed over thousands of years to serve the needs of people embracing reality--is no less than an effort to deny that reality.
This must not make its way down to our kids.
If you missed the live, and are trying to decide whether to watch the show with Ray Raymond, here's a sample that I hope helps you decide!
Greetings! I wanted to make a plug for the new show Kieran White and I are doing each week on his YT channel! Here's this week's. Each week we cover three or four stories from the news, and ask the question: "Is that true?"
In this week's episode:
Neuralink: Is it turning us into cyborgs?
Deb: Am I really a racist?
Taylor Swift: Is she a DNC Op?
Watch here! Please subscribe and watch live, Wednesday at 2:00 PM Eastern.
