This would sever the connection to the ancient language, which is central to Greek identity. We would have a better chance of an English spelling reform—arguably more essential given its lingua franca status and absurd spelling. But we know that’s not going to happen.

Regardless, a fun exercise. I’ve thought a lot about the sound drift, case merging, loss of the infinitive and such. Good to see someone else’s ideas on the topic.

Multiple desktops in Windows can help with this. Ctrl+Win Right/Left cursor keys to switch.

The two things I find unacceptable are no local accounts and non consensual reboots. The latter may need legislation. They don’t even notify you that it happened. They try to restart apps and put things back the way they were but you can still tell that your house was broken into by the missing data that wasn’t saved.

Yep. Perl 6 was a wall that Perl 5 would never move beyond. It’s still Perl 5 25 years later.

An alternative is graduated capital gains rates based on total assets owned (ideally skewed higher, like 10, 50, 100MM, …). Exemptions like QSBS could still be applied. This would allow shareholder control issues to remain unaffected, which wealth taxes never seem to address.

Not sure how to apply it on the corporate side. There are also multi entity workarounds to consider.

Just an idea.

This is called cognitive offloading. Anyone who’s spent enough time working with coding assistants will recognize it.
