“History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.”
― James Joyce, Ulysses. Year 1922
“Joyce is, in the Wake, making his own Altamira cave drawings of the entire history of the human mind, in terms of its basic gestures and postures during all the phases of human culture and technology. As his title indicates, he saw that the wake of human progress can disappear again into the night of sacral or auditory man. The Finn cycle of tribal institutions can return in the electric age, but if again, then let’s make it a wake or awake or both. Joyce could see no advantage in our remaining locked up in each cultural cycle as in a trance or dream. He discovered the means of living simultaneously in all cultural modes while quite conscious.” — Marshall McLuhan, “The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by media analyst Marshall McLuhan and graphic designer Quentin Fiore, and coordinated by Jerome Agel. It was published in March 1967

Neil Postman year 1985
“What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate. In the Huxleyan prophecy, Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility. In America, Orwell’s prophecies are of small relevance, but Huxley’s are well under way toward being realized.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. year 1985.

Campbell: Economic Interpretation Myth
Joseph Campbell
Lecture I.1.1 - The Celebration of Life
Date: March 1, 1967
Venue: The Cooper Union
Now, I just want to speak about the phases in the development of any mythology. How did it start, and what happens to it?
I think one could say this: that all of the high cultures and low cultures and primitive cultures, and charming simple cultures, and great big enormous ones have grown out of myths. They are founded on myths. And what these myths have given has been inspiration for aspiration.
The economic interpretation of history is for the birds. Economics is itself a function of aspiration. It’s what people aspire to that creates the field in which economics works. And people who don’t have any aspirations—you know, the problem of a businessman who can’t get people to want anything. It’s the want; it’s the aspiration. And what is wanted is not simply one, two or three meals a day and a bed—that’s not enough. It’s got to be much more than that to make a life.
Now, where do these aspirations come from? They come from a very wonderful, childlike thing: fascination. You know, if you wanted to make money today… I think I know economists, but I’ll bet the thing to do would be to invest your money in something like cameras — things that people play with, things that they are fascinated by. These fascinations are the creations of new activities.
And when we look at the old cultures we can see — and some of it is very strange to see indeed…
I don’t see how Lemmy lead to this when you type like no one I’ve ever seen on Lemmy.
Which is why you are fixated on me, target fixation. Unique and free thinking, outside the Lemmy cult of memes and “Trump stupid!!! Trump diapers!!!” chanting. Cult of media systems. Media cultists. The entire World Wide Web is a race to the bottom of competitive high-speed ignorance now and it is going to blow up in our faces / screen faces. July 6, 2011 the crisis went mainstream via Trump Twitter. Q2 2013 the Internet Research Agency and Cambridge Analytica converged. Now ignorance, mocking and mockery, anti-goodness wins all debates of any topic. Total power of Trumpism and Surkovian governing.
“We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. Year 1995.

Howard Bloom
When conformity enforcers overwhelm diversity generators, all of us are in trouble. Spartans – fundamentalists, militia groups, fascists, and ultra-nationalists – can freeze the machinery of collective mind. A shutdown of urban diversity devastates that exercise of collective acumen we call an economy. Christian Fundamentalism has been shown by the research of sociologists Alfred Darnell and Darren E. Sherkat to retard the learning of children raised within its grasp. Darnell and Sherkat sum up a common Fundamentalist attitude in the following words: “No schooling is better than secular schooling.” Then there’s the paralysis of thought which outright battle brings. When World War I erupted, Sigmund Freud was horrified by the sudden “narrow-mindedness shown by [even] the best intellects, their obduracy, their inaccessibility to the most forcible arguments.” Such closings of the mind may explain why authoritarians are prone to ignore it when their approaches flop. They often goose-step from one year to another rigidly glued to backfiring ways.
