Being a long term fan of John Dewey and thus, practically by default, McLuhan and Postman, is particularly torturous in this era of “AI will do it for me”
From “Democracy and Education”:
> The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
Baldur Bjarnason
The point made by Dewey and McLuhan is that meaning comes from what you do, the actions you take, not from what you say, think, or believe. Ideas have no meaning, only the actions you take to execute them and the actions the audience take to receive. The prevailing “AI” orthodoxy is almost the diametric opposite, that meaning comes from your ideas and that all actions can be automated.
