Thank you for making the show possible. 🙂
Please don’t stop your content, currently I’m on the Spinoza episode listening through Spotify and get more and more motivated to keep running in every time you upload something new. Where I’m listening in on seems like a real passion out of teaching and I love that energy. Many blessings to you and all your family, happy New Years and may the sun bless you.
Oooh media studies grad me loves hearing McLuhan mentioned here.
13:20 when he realizes that humans discovered air he might rethink the accuracy of his statement.
I read every day. I found your channel because of a book I was reading.
Awesome 2021 just got better
"The suddenness of the leap from hardware to software cannot but produce a period of anarchy specially in the industrialized world" -- McLuhan wrote this when the great innovation was protable transistor radios.
Thank you! McLuhan is a rockstar.
Brilliant!
Herbert Marshall McLuhan[a] CC (July 21, 1911 - December 31, 1980) was a Canadian philosopher, whose work is among the cornerstones of the study of media theory.
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, McLuhan studied at the University of Manitoba and the University of Cambridge. He began his teaching career as a professor of English at several universities in the United States and Canada before moving to the University of Toronto in 1946, where he remained for the rest of his life.
McLuhan coined the expression "the medium is the message" and the term global village, and predicted the World Wide Web almost 30 years before it was invented.[10] He was a fixture in media discourse in the late 1960s, though his influence began to wane in the early 1970s. In the years following his death, he continued to be a controversial figure in academic circles.
However, with the arrival of the Internet and the World Wide Web, interest was renewed in his work and perspective.
Every time I`m listening to these podcasts, I just pause in the middle of the podcast, like the podcast and again continue listening. That`s my definition of great podcasts.
Very thought provoking, thanks.
Really insightful episode! Thank you for uploading this series!
Glad you’re back with a great episode again!
This is a great podcast series! ;)
Great stuff as always!
Great Episode. For anybody who is interested in a fairly unusual perspective on the matters discussed in this episode check out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Kittler "Friedrich Kittler is influential in the new approach to media theory that grew popular starting in the 1980s, new media. Kittler's central project is to "prove to the human sciences [...] their technological-media a priori" (Hartmut Winkler), or in his own words: "Driving the human out of the humanities",[5] a title that he gave a work that he published in 1980.
Kittler sees an autonomy in technology and therefore disagrees with Marshall McLuhan's reading of the media as "extensions of man": "Media are not pseudopods for extending the human body. They follow the logic of escalation that leaves us and written history behind it. (Kittler in Geschichte der Kommunikationsmedien. In: Jörg Huber, Alois Martin Müller (publishers): Raum und Verfahren.) "
Would love to hear discussions on Quentin Meillasoux, Graham Harman, and Terry Eagleton (individual discussions preferred)!
Also an in-depth reviews of the contemporary threads of the analytic and continental!
Amazing.
Who reads nowadays? Everybody!! Check at THIS comment section, check your FB timeline or your servers on Discord. In this era people read more than ever, we need to exterminate the myth of people not reading in the Internet era. Reading has changed, we may not read as many books as before, but it's far from dead.

That's a totally different topic and it depends on what you consider to be junk. Is conceptual art real art? Is Duchamp urinary just rubbish? Is Tupack Shakur real music? Is the vulgata of the bible a lesser text than his Latin version??
Hmm if technology is extension of ourselves. What about us ourselves. What are we ourselves an extension of? The universe? Is the way we are, like our volatility, an extension of the universe? Just like how we use microscope, nano technology to understand the minute details of ourselves that our human eyes can't see. Are we ourselves like such technology that the universe use to understand itself as well?
If anyone here hasn't heard 'Earworm' from Tom Scott, then maybe give it a listen after this. ;)
12:50 OVDEVELOPED tendency toward the visual! OVDEVELOPED tendency toward the visual! OVDEVELOPED tendency toward the visual!
I teach literature; I read daily
Here's an answer for you. I read and read a lot. I read everyday.

Imagine McLuhan listening on approvingly. “You do know my work!”
I used both McLuhan and Chomsky when writing my master thesis, these podcasts have been very enjoyable :) Thanks for creating and posting!
Just curiously, what did you study and what was your thesis on?
You are simply life saver. BTW I am not learning philosophy to prepare for any exam. I am learning to learn
My man's covered literally everything wtf 😂
Thank you so much!
liked everything you put out to the public, thank you so much for the free content
I got so giddy when I saw this
very thank you!
In spite of my harsh criticisms of his view that the Protestant Reformation ruined Christianity, Marshal McLuhan was prophetic in some ways.
We all know the Avignon Papacy ruined Christianity.
@@Shamino1 What is the Avignon Papacy?
As painful as it is, one cannot look away. Strap in, it's going to be a wild ride.
