If it's handwriting, maybe Simplified writing can serve as a way to write notes. But with computers and standardized education everywhere, why?

Please understand, the simplified Chinese conversion was done at a time where literacy was low worldwide: https://ourworldindata.org/literacy

There is more context at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debate_on_traditional_and_simp...

This was the dearest point I had. You can even call the other points facetious or an overall thought experiment.

That's why I take great pride in my work on Cihai (https://cihai.git-pull.com/), which makes characters preserved through the Unicode Consortium's UNIHAN project more accessible. They will be ready and waiting to be implemented once again.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification

In fact, our computers everywhere around the world reserve the codepoints of even ancient, now unused Chinese characters. UNIHAN also covers the ones used in Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese also (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification#Examples_of_la...), and variants across them. And there are also reservations for bagua and yi jing hexagrams.

I hope China pulls the plug on this Simplified writing experiment. Chinese is a very beautiful language!
