In response to this post

@futurebird I really like following you because you always bring up interesting ideas. It’s not -just- ants. 🐜

Shorthand, braille, and Morse code are all recent attempts to create a novel writing system based on existing written language.

My favorite weird example is dance notation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_no

And the parallel discovery of written language in different places on the globe show that it’s not a one time thing.


@Seanochicago @futurebird the Korean writing system (hangul) is semi recentish (well 1446) it used to use Chinese characters exclusively and the king Sejong the Great created it

he famously said of his writing system "A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; even a stupid man can learn them in the space of ten days."
