I agree; "Writing forces clarity." Unfortunately, I feel writing and writing clarity are becoming watered down as time goes on; handwriting by word processors, clarity and precision by abbreviated texts, and now writing by AI bots. I believe technology is critical for increasing productivity and speed. I fully embrace and adopt technologies. However, will society become too reliant on technology to form thoughts and craft arguments that further reduce the willingness and ability to debate one-on-one?
You’re suggesting, and I agree, that the tools we use to communicate are becoming impediments to communication!
Part of my idea on writing is what it does to the writer themselves. And you’re right, my assumption is that it is in unrestricted letter or document form, not emoji-imbued texts. The idea is that once two parties have used the “telepathic” characteristic of writing, they will understand each other better, so debate one-on-one is more constructive.
The other idea is this is easy and cheap. Any individual can decide to try it.

Is this really Doug, or is this a chatbot?
