1. You want to drive your spouse / family crazy? Listen to them. Actually tune in and listen to them. Then start finding out what THEY are listening to.

2. You want to alienate your nation? Listen to them, We The People, listen to them. Actually tune in and listen to them. Then start finding out what THEY are listening to.

3. You want to alienate your religion, drive clergy crazy? Listen to the clergy, listen to them.

"it is a fair question to ask whether a society that produces this reaction in its young is worthy of existence at all. It really is. It’s worth asking that. Whether it’s worth being here at all. And my criticism of this society couldn’t get more bitter than it is in that case. It couldn’t possibly be."

"Now, imagine what the attitudes are like on the streets of DC if you are from another race or another social class. Is it surprising – at all surprising – that our cities resemble Beirut? It’s hard to find… in other words our search here is for ourselves, under siege; trying to find who we are, under siege. But it’s kind of hard to do that when all our cities are beginning to look like Beirut, you know, that makes it harder." - #RickRoderick 1993 #FWakeY1993

"And it is a fair question to ask whether a society that produces this reaction in its young is worthy of existence at all. It really is. It’s worth asking that. Whether it’s worth being here at all. And my criticism of this society couldn’t get more bitter than it is in that case. It couldn’t possibly be. Remember, I am talking about the young I have encountered at Duke. These are privileged youth. At an elite southern school. Mostly white, mostly upper-middle to upper class." - #RickRoderick

“We were keeping our eye on 1984. When the year came and the prophecy didn't, thoughtful Americans sang softly in praise of themselves. The roots of liberal democracy had held. Wherever else the terror had happened, we, at least, had not been visited by Orwellian nightmares. But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell's dark vision, there was another - slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World." - #NeilPostman, 1985

"Reading is actually an activity of rapid guessing, because any word has so many meanings — including the word “reading,” — many many meanings, that to select one in a context of other words requires very rapid guessing." - #MarshallMcLuhan in 1977

This sentence has HUGE implications for #Autism theory of #ContextBlindness #AutismContext / "Context Blindness theory of Autism"

McLuhan's next sentence gets into #ExecutiveFunction

“Nobody’s Had an Honest Conversation About Donald Trump Since 2016” - October 24, 2024

You are here. This is October 2024. The statement is Real Reality of where things are. NOBODY, The ENTIRE SOCIETY - is not being HONEST in CONVERSATION about how much Russia has mind-fucked everybody in the nation. Not just those who praise and vote for Trump, but also those who HATE Trump.

Cambridge Analytica ++ Russia's Surkov in March 2013 unleashed a new psychological warfare. #DenialAbounds

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.

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.

#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 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

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.

Smartphones have advanced so much, computerizes news and social have advanced so much, there is a grinding mechanical conflict between people. The self-deception world-wide over oil since 1970 has grown to be self-deception as a faith system in news, what people choose to read and listen to, etc.

Goodness itself has been disappearing. #GoodnessItself - I don't mean 'consumer goods", I mean compassion, love, kindness, helping each other, the GOOD ideals of "peace on earth" and harmony.
