"#GabrielRockhill’s polemic against #WesternMarxism seeks to condemn a set of postwar left-wing intellectuals such as #HerbertMarcuse. Heavy on innuendo but light on evidence, the result is more like a show trial than a serious political indictment."

At its best the technological model of learning is inspired by visions of facts and information. Its enthusiasts assume that the world will improve if more people have easier access to knowledge. Is the problem the availability of knowledge, however? Will additional information alter the nature of learning? Or is something else missing, a desire to learn and imagine? Do we lack facts or comprehension, the ability to think about information? American culture has always tilted toward amassing facts. Yet the delivery of information progresses, while social relations regress.
