Literacy is magic - a series of arcane rituals used as necromancy that allows you to listen to dead people.
Literacy is a psychedelic drug - it allows you to stare at a slice of tree covered in ink and hallucinate vividly for minutes or hours.
Literacy puts human souls in storage - normally, when you die, your ideas and memories die with you. But this magic drugged ritual allows other people to access your mind forever.
Literacy is a crude form of soul cloning, mimicking your mind but without the consciousness.
Hunter-gatherers did not use it, but farmers did.
Thus, most modern civilizations are built primarily around farming, not hunt-gathering.
