>Bait
but also cringe and somehow you managed bluepill yourself through your inability to understand literature

good thing /lit/ doesn't discuss literature anymore

I've been reading since I was 6 years old. I've ploughed through different literal traditions and even studied literature in university. I only respect oral tradition and folklore now, academic, commercial or historical literature is for brainlets.

Oh fuckfuckfuck I'm worried that I've lost some IQ points through reading this post. How do I get them back?!

Stop reading and stop discussing literature. That is the answer.

What it is the meaning of oral and written word?

>>13907461
One is spoken and the other isn't.

Just kidding. The main difference is that while the written word can be turned into a commodity, oral tradition can't. When culture becomes reified as an artifact, it can travel and be shared in many different places at once. A Greek scroll could travel all the way to Cairo, Florence and end up somewhere in England. Monks could copy and, later, the written word could be printed. Oral tradition also means your voice can't be recorded or shared, a person from the tribe holds it, and this person alone can chose to tell it or not.
