Ever hear of the curse of Thoth in relation to Plato on the merit of writing?

I mean yeah, it gets brought up every time this topic is discussed. I’m not going to try to argue Plato was totally right, but I do think there is some merit to the argument.

At least in my experience, the more stuff I can keep my working memory, the better I can solve problems. Contrast to popular opinion, I actually think memorization is a great learning strategy.
