Reply to comment by lpuckeri in "In other words, an important lesson we can draw from Hans Blumenberg’s writings on myth is that the dangerous political myths of our own times as well as those of the past can only be countered by inventing new myths, telling better stories, and writing more convincing histories." by Maxwellsdemon17

The article actually addresses this point. It's just a quote the conclusion from a much larger discussion.

Also, naive.

Lol brutal spelling on my part

Again i never said it was the end all solution, i even implied i think the author doesnt intend that.

Im advising against using language that makes it seem such.

Diacritics are not part of the English alphabet, so it’s just alternate spelling.

Is that true? Definitely useful though. The diacritical lets you know that it is two syllables, that the "a" and the "i" are separate.
