The real mind blower in this situation is that once you are literate you can’t turn it off.
You have no way to stop reading this while looking at the words.
Your brain is permanently wired to automatically translate this into language that you understand for the rest of your life whereas if you want to have no legs you can just cut your fucking legs off.
Even if you were to lobotomize yourself, that is no guarantee that you would lose the ability to read.
The only way that you can guarantee that you would lose your ability to read words is to kill yourself. And you shouldn’t kill yourself because you won’t survive that.
You will die if you kill yourself, and that is bad.
I said all of that to say think it would be super fun to learn how to read all over again.
