Ancient scribes learned not merely to read and write, but also to use catalogues, dictionaries, calendars, forms and tables./ They studied and internalised techniques of cataloguing, retrieving and processing information very different from those used by the brain./ In the brain, all data is freely associated./ When I go with my spouse to sign on a mortgage for our new home, I am reminded of the first place we lived together, which reminds me of our honeymoon in New Orleans, which reminds me of alligators, which remind me of dragons, which remind me of The Ring of the Nibelungen, and suddenly, before I know it, there I am humming the Siegfried leitmotif to a puzzled bank clerk.

In bureaucracy, things must be kept apart./ There is one drawer for home mortgages, another for marriage certificates, a third for tax registers, and fourth for lawsuits./ Otherwise, how can you find anything?/ Things that belong in more than one drawer, like Wagnerian music dramas (do I file them under ‘music’, ‘theatre’, or perhaps invent a new category altogether?), are a terrible headache./ So one is forever adding, deleting and rearranging drawers.
Better keep them apart. 그들을 떼어두는 것이 좋다.

In order to function, the people who operate such a system of drawers must be reprogrammed to stop thinking as humans and to start thinking as clerks and accountants./ As everyone from ancient times till today knows, clerks and accountants think in a nonhuman fashion./ They think like filing cabinets. This is not their fault.

If they don't think that way their drawers will all get mixed up and they won't be able to provide the services their government, company or organisation requires./ The most important impact of script on human history is precisely this: it has gradually changed the way humans think and view the world./ Free association and holistic thought have given way to compartmentalisation and bureaucracy.
