\nI wonder if people had metaphors similar to “on the same page” to indicate two people share the same frame of reference on an issue before books
“look, grug and i aren’t really hunting the same wildebeest on this one”
Maybe polyphony? Though arising from monastic chant and sacred music, I suppose more than anything today that came out of a particularly literate scene
Why from that and not just people\u2019s pre-very-modern habit of not finding it cringe to just sing together even if it isn\u2019t their job
Because that maintains the notion of different parts/pages to be on, so you can differentiate “doing a different thing from others” from “doing something wrong, in a group setting with others who did not err”
