This is a call to continue recognizing the importance of human-generated scientific writing.

And reading, too. One can hardly go without the other.

But is it really questioned? I mean, are we already throwing out our mere human brain (that spongy grayish thingy that's kinda floating between our ears) in exchange for a chip that will connect to our brand new & much smarter AI-brain—available through a reasonable monthly fee. Tax may apply. Please read EULA?

I hope we will be able to realize the importance of writing (and writing longhand and, once again, of reading) in thinking (by ourselves) but seeing how massively people are turning away from the written word, I doubt it.

Who knows, maybe something amazingly good will come out of such a shift away from writing, even though I don't see it taking this direction, obviously I may be wrong. I'm old. Heck, I even prefer using a pen(cil) to a keyboard. Talk about a living fossil :p
