   #RoundSparrowFrustration ::: #WorldHateAffairs

   I point people to Peter Pomerantsev if they want a "sober", "mentally stable" interpretation of what is going on with #RussiaVsNATO - I have been promoting Pomerantsev's work (and by topic association #EnterShikari ) since 2016 when I discovered his 2014 book.

   A KEY difference between myself, Stephen Gutknecht, and Peter Pomerantsev is my focus on #MediaEcologyStandingUp Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman. I've also brought in Rick Roderick (more)

     Another KEY difference between myself, Stephen Gutknecht, and Peter Pomerantsev is my focus on #ComparativeMythology
     
     1. Joseph Campbell during and after #SarahLawrence college

     2. dancer-choreographer Jean Erdman - her work on James Joyce's art

     3. Stephan A. Hoeller - immigrant to the USA who informs Hollywood California

     4. (former) White House Press Secretary (media manager) #BillMoyers

     The Joseph Campbell link to James Joyce / Finnegans Wake. INDEPENDENT of Canadian Marshall McLuhan.

     Bill repeated this.

     Another KEY difference between myself, Stephen Gutknecht, and Peter Pomerantsev and the 2024 collaboration with Anne Applebaum is again - Comparative Mythology - the James Joyce 1924 #MonoMyth interpretation of world religions and languages (Tower of Babel metaphor, Bible verse John 1:1 about words)

     To me, religions are not supernatural. Religions are multi-national meme patterns, poetry, and Europe Science Revolution of year 1543 is a BIG DEAL REFERENCE #FWakeYear1543

     Enter Shikari based a 2019 album of rock music on Peter Pomerantsev's book. #WhiteHouseSurkovMedia //\\ subreddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/WhiteHouseSurkovMedia/

     To me, bottom-up + autism, the REALITY of Cambridge Analytica mind-fuck (see whistleblower / author Christopher Wylie and Russia's Konstantin Rykov postings on Facebook) and Surkov monomyth cracking is real #BrokenMindBrokenHeart brain damage.

     Enter Shikari is a VERY sober band, not drunken rockers. Their documentary video along with album is great.

     Rick Roderick's 1993 "Self Under Siege" describes a world that Neil Postman / Marshall McLuhan were also describing, without making reference to either teacher! Rick Roderick independently arrives at many similar conclusions as Neil Postman.

     If you want a super perspective of what drives me crazy in this world of 2013 onward, probably 2007 onward with the soaring popularity of the Apple iPhone, Rick Roderick in 1993 describes it in an organized mentally stable way. Neil Postman in 1985.
