And yet.. there still remains evidence that Aboriginal oral tradition maintained accurate history for 10,000 years.
Is it really your point that “literate” cultures have a long history of genocide and therefore “oral” traditions are 100% irredeemably inferior?
Why is it so hard for you to admit that there may — possibly —- somehow —- be tradeoffs between the two?
One thing can be better overall than an other thing even as that other thing has unique merits of its own.
I am under the impression that one could not get far as a provable liar in a society rooted oral tradition. Compare and contrast that with the success rate of liars in every field of endeavor today.
