The author humorously advocates for the revival of boustrophedon, an ancient Greek writing system, as a more efficient reading method. Longer summary
This post humorously introduces the concept of boustrophedon, an ancient Greek writing system that alternates between left-to-right and right-to-left lines. The author argues that boustrophedon is more efficient for readers but was abandoned due to scribes' laziness. He then jokingly announces that his blog will now display in boustrophedon, comparing it to other 'weird-but-effective' practices like DVORAK keyboards, polyamory, and homeschooling. The post ends with a recommendation for a boustrophedon text reader, playfully suggesting a movement towards this writing system. Shorter summary
