"Dyslexia, for example, is only a problem in literate societies (in fact, I believe that it's only a problem in alphabetic societies: it doesn't matter in Chinese, for some reason)."

I've often wondered about this. I'm learning Japanese in an on-off, really half-arsed way and thought that is must be a nightmare if someone over there was dyslexic. Apparantly you need to be familiar with around 5000 characters to get through a newspaper.
