@Truthcoin looking at the book on it, it seems there were other subtle changes important to the CIA

“Once we have surrendered our senses and nervous systems to the private manipulation of those who would try to benefit from taking a lease on our eyes and ears and nerves, we don’t really have any rights left.”

The Neo-Monroe Doctrine was easy to predict. Increasingly unable to project power elsewhere, America is forced to play it’s dated geopolitical game on the restricted chess board of the Western Hemisphere while the rest of the world looks on, confused.

I was reading a rather-obscure 1963 article by McLuhan when a flash-bulb went off.

I can demonstrate, by rewriting key passages, that he presaged the development of second-order cybernetics by about five years—all under the guise of “structuralism”!

you can translate “the medium is the message” into “the experience is the message” and retain both the fidelity along with expanding the signal’s reach

The phenomena of smart people with midwit political and economic takes is unsurprising because there is no room for genius in politics or economics. They are both formed on the stifling principle of ‘maximizing human welfare’. Art and science observe no such constraint.

"Just as language offers an extensive and complex apprehension of the structure of beings, so that faculty which produced this state of language is perpetually operative - an intuitive perception of essentials." McLuhan, The Classical Trivium

Do the Zoomers know that Aaron Swartz was effectively murdered by the State because he uploaded a bunch of JSTOR files to the internet so they could be freely accessible? I think Zoomers have almost no concern for internet censorship in this manner-- the lack of 00's pirate libertarian ethos is the greatest loss for me, the Millennial, the point of greatest difference. It is the one way in which the Internet itself is more fundamentally sacred to Millennials than to Zoomers-- for the Zoomers, the internet is like water to a fish in an aquarium-- but Millennials, we remember when it was a desert, and water was scarce...
