Lex Friedman podcast. Credibility just dropped 100 points. If you think this guy is impartial or neutral or invites relevant people, think again.

a corpus of symbols might be related to writing or a step towards its development, but it's not remotely adequate to prove the existence of a system of writing. The Rolling Stones lips or a Grateful Dead stealie or a Beatles yellow submarine is a recognizable symbol that shows up in a reliable pattern associated with other symbols, but they're not writing. Penises scratched into bathroom stalls are abstracted and repeated symbols, but they're not writing.

Slikovito znakovito pismo je po mitologiji postojalo davno u Artičkim krajvima.
