Quick reminder: todays conspiracy is next years headline.

We are being manipulated.
We are being driven by fear.
We are being divided to be conquered.
We are having our cultural identity removed and realigned for others benefits.
It’s all being driven by SM and MSM

I bet methylsulphonylmethane smells like a fart! Possibly a proto-fart.

I found Sapiens fascinating throughout, Deus weaker in the later stages when it's mostly his speculation. He may be more accurate than me, after all he's much closer to the cutting edge (if that doesn't equate to being too close to the trees). My belief that much of what is proposed today is pure hype might be more about me not liking the new; though an awful lot of bullshit is flopped out about, e.g. 'AI' and cryptocurrency.
Anyway, next I decided to finally read McLuhan. I found him unreadable. Now I wonder if all the talk about him in the Sixties was just name-dropping; or did every social commentator take Sociology, thus were familiar with the concepts he was mangling?
(I took Sociology and it was the only subject that literally put me to sleep)
Now I'm reading 'Amusing ourselves to death' by Neil Postman (died in '03 so couldn't deliver it in person). This one I'm really enjoying! Highly legible. The premise strikes me much as Harari's did, as articulating what I've grasped at: that media revolutions shape the way we think. Almost the most basic Truth about ourselves and a kind of Evolutionary Psychology.

In a similar genre Ishmael is worth a ago....I does meander about a bit, but worth the read IMO.
