Another example is Sequoia’s invention of writing for the Cherokee people. (Getting your name on the world’s tallest trees is a fitting honor.)

Deep eternal gratitude to King Sejong and all the great men and women who helped bring this beautiful script to future generations, now and forevermore.

Populism and anti-intellectualism are a huge problem, and both have led to the rise of Donald Trump. If he gets elected we’re all fucked. He’ll start a nuclear war with Russia or China. Some writing system kind of pales next to that problem, doesn’t it?
