@AmenZwa @dougmerritt
Several Marshall McLuhan AI chatbots exist, but they require signups to chat so I didn't bother 😆Do you remember this from Wired in 1996?
"About a year ago, someone calling himself Marshall McLuhan began posting anonymously on a popular mailing list ... Gary Wolf began a correspondence ... One after another, tiny hints, confirmed by third parties close to McLuhan decades ago, convinced Wolf that if the poster was not McLuhan himself, it was a bot programmed with an eerie command of McLuhan's life and inimitable perspective. ..." https://www.wired.com/1996/01/channeling -

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 🇨🇦

@malteengeler don’t forget to mention the role of radio as crucial medium, the “Volksempfänger”.

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.

Marshall McLuhan : Le médium est le message — comment les médias fabriquent la réalité
Marshall McLuhan révèle que le médium, plus que le contenu, façonne nos perceptions et construit la réalité sociale. Les journalistes, en s’insérant dans des cadres techniques et organisationnels propres aux médias, participent involontairement à cette fabrication. #McLuhan #MédiumEstMessage #Médias #Réalité #MediaTheory #MarshallMcLuhan #MediumIsTheMessage #Journalisme #Epistemologie

#Understanding #Media (1964)
Understanding Media : The Extensions of ManThe medium is the message.
"In the electric age, when our central nervous system is technologically extended to involve us in the whole of mankind and to incorporate the whole of mankind in us, we necessarily participate, in depth, in the consequences of our every action. It is no longer possible to adopt the aloof and dissociated role of the literate Westerner." (p. 4) Herbert Marshall #McLuhan (1980 passed)

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life”*…
Portrait of Edmund Burke– who figures formatively in this tale– by the studio of Joshua Reynolds
While the 18th century is commonly perceived as the quintessential age of rationalist modernity, it was also the cradle of a second and strikingly different movement. In fact, at the very moment when rationalist thought seemed to have reached its peak, a comprehensive revolt against the Enlightenment’s fundamental views erupted in European intellectual life. From the second half of the 18th century to the age of the Cold War and today, the confrontation between these two modernities has formed one of the most prominent and enduring features of our world.
The Enlightenment wished to liberate the individual from the constraints of history, from the yoke of traditional unproven beliefs. This was the motivation of Locke’s Second Treatise of Government, Kant’s Reply to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?, and Rousseau’s Discourse on the Origin of Inequality: three extraordinary pamphlets that proclaimed the liberation of man. It was against the liberation of the individual by reason that this new “Anti-Enlightenment” movement launched its attack, and its campaign was infinitely more sophisticated and subtle than that of the classical, undisguisedly authoritarian enemies of the Enlightenment. This anti-Enlightenment movement constituted not a counterrevolution but a different revolution. It revolted against rationalism, the autonomy of the individual, and all that unites people: their condition as rational beings with natural rights…
The anti-democratic political tradition that opposed Enlightenment thinking advanced the catastrophic campaigns of Nazi Germany and haunts us still: “The Origins of Anti-Intellectualism.”
* Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge‘”*… – Isaac Asimov

As we opine on opinion, we might send understanding birthday greetings to Herbert Marshall McLuhan; he was born on this date in 1911. A professor, philosopher, and public intellectual, he was a foundational thinker in media theory, coining the expression “the medium is the message” and the term “global village,” and predicting the World Wide Web almost thirty years before it was invented.
McLuhan was a– arguably, the– central figure at the center of the discussion of media in the 1960s and 70s; his views were controversial and his influence began to wane in the 1980s. But with the advent of the web, there has been a resurgence of interest in his thinking.
“Only puny secrets need protection. Big secrets are protected by public incredulity…”
– Marshall Mcluhan
