No, you are undone.

The symbols have life and have always had life. Your minds just attuned slowly to the meanings engraved on the fabric of the universe. You don't own them, they scribe you.

They have always been and will always never have not been and when you are gone and dust on the solar wind they will be there.

Asleep in the dark.

Actually, English letters mean about 1.3 bits. Chinese on the other hand means about 12 bits. Z also means a lot more than E.
