@futurebird I think fired clay tablets might be the most reliable way to preserve half-baked thoughts for future societies.

I'm helping a student recreate plimpton 322 for a senior project so we can try out writing in cuneiform with a stylus.
No reason why we can't do some extra projects.

Future archeologist: We did it! We finally found a surviving detailed account of the 2020s! Now we'll finally understand the collapse!
Future classist: Amazing! Give it here so I can try to translate it for us.
Future archeologist: Of course! What does it say?
Future classist: *flips through book, increasingly confused*
Future archeologist: Well? Does it unlock the great secrets of the ancients?
Future classist: Well... Not as such...
Future archeologist: Well, what's it about then?

Future archeologist: Ants!? I've dedicated five years of my life to this expedition. Just ants!?
Future classist: Well... There are also a handful of pages describing a cat.

@futurebird
This year, for the first time in my six decades, I started a handwritten journal just in case digital records cease to be reliable.
Fortunately , my multi-year collection of lined blank notebook schwag should hold me for the rest of my life.
( And sometimes I just print out #HeatherCoxRichardson, staple it in, and call it a day.) -

No, just Pythagorean triples!
It's one of the most remarkable examples of ancient writing and mathematics. The Pythagorean triples are very large ... I got chills when I first tested them out for myself.
