A nice person sent me a link to a talk Neil Postman gave on the role that technology has in influencing our culture, our politics, and the way we think. It’s a wonderful addition to the essay I wrote on the rise of the influencer and the internet’s total neoliberalization of political discourse. (So thank you, ToKnowIsToDie.)
“There is no escaping from ourselves. The human dilemma is as it has always been. And we will solve nothing by cloaking ourselves in technological glory.”
