 Written stories may be superior for longevity, but not mass programming (understanding).

Oral traditions in song, rhyme and #story circulated unchanged for millenia before the written word. 

Children humming passages now written in the #Vedas shared mathematical concepts, astrological signs and moral value thousands of years ago. 

Programming humans requires storytelling. It is in our DNA.
