#64 Cursive · The Poetic Truth Behind Its Erasure
A Think First Podcast with Jim Detjen
About
Cursive wasn’t just elegant — it was untraceable.
So why did American schools suddenly erase it… while students in France, India, and China still learn it today?
In this episode of Think First, we examine the poetic truth that cursive was “outdated” — and expose what was really lost when we stopped teaching it: historical memory, cognitive depth, and analog privacy.
Could this have been about more than efficiency?
What if cursive didn’t die…what if it was killed?
