Our cultural memory and our ability to develop it and pass it on was erased when we decided that a small group of people had to be in charge of writing, recording and broadcasting it. Recorded culture is dead and frozen culture.

When did we decide that? It's never been easier for an ordinary person to write, record, and broadcast...

Write, record and broadcast what? What happened to the stories, music and performance handed down by cultural tradition? Unless you think Mr Beast qualifies. “Broadcast” is also part of the problem. Audience size is the goal, not the story, moral or history.

You're free to tell stories and perform to whatever size audience you want.
