I think, before anyone starts talking about how this part or that part of culture has taken a left turn, about how "they've" weaponised this or that, or point out the obvious mind control of social media, they need to read the works of Marshall McLuhan. Even just reading The Media is the Message, will solve so much of what you find puzzling or confusing. McLuhan foresaw all of this shit show and lays it out clearly and succinctly.

I find the only question I am left with, is how is the myth of Cassandra still not seen as a lesson until after the fact?

McLuhan zag het al — en wij scrollen gewoon verder.

Altijd online, eindeloze prikkels, het “global village”… zo normaal geworden dat niemand het nog ziet. We leven erin zoals vissen in water: volledig ondergedompeld, zonder nog te merken wat het met ons doet.

Aflevering 4 duikt erin — met een vleug absurdisme die net genoeg vervreemdt om weer iets zichtbaar te maken.

The Prophet of the Digital Age: Marshall McLuhan

Long before the internet, Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan foresaw its impact. His groundbreaking theories on media, summarized in the phrases 'the medium is the message' and 'global village,' predicted how electronic communication would reshape human society. His work remains essential for understanding our hyper-connected modern world. #Canada #McLuhan #Philosophy #MediaTheory 🇨🇦

McLuhan was a deep student of Northrop Frye..

McLuhan is worth rereading in a time of social media and viral memers.
