What if you want to write a story, or a screenplay. What use is ink and paper, or a keyboard and screen? "Mankind owns four things, that are no good at sea: rudder, anchor, oars, and the fear of going down."

@ScottRowe substantialism... a quirky quest. Didja know that until 1774 air was thought to be "a substance"... a single contiguous substance. Then some experimenter proved it to be a gas... molecular. I would have thought such knowledge was older. I was surprised to learn its newness. We really weren't that well informed back in the age of gods.

@ScottRowe p.s. I think I covered story writing under the umbrella "Other than talk about it"... at least in the broader sense.
