“I am an intellectual thug who has slowly been accumulating a private arsenal with every intention of using it. In a mindless age, every insight takes on the character of a lethal weapon.”
Marshall McLuhan to Ezra Pound,
letter, June 22, 1951
McLuhan, born this day, 1911.

“Computers can do better than ever what needn’t be done at all.
Making sense is still a human monopoly.”

We might ask ourselves to what extent would it be possible not only to have trade without information coverage, but also to what extent would it be possible to have war?”

“If education is undergoing the flip from instruction to discovery, or tending that way, there are other extraordinary flips resulting from technological advance.
And the general tendency is to use the audience as a work force instead of as a target or consumer.”

“To what extent is war accelerated and raised up into a potent force by just good coverage?
To what extent is information coverage itself aggressive warfare?”

America is running out of places to gather:
Bars and clubs per capita have fallen over 60% since the late 1970s, and since 2001 a fifth of movie theaters have shut their doors.
Over the past two decades, the country has lost roughly 2,000 golf courses and 7,000 bars and nightclubs.
Catching live music now costs a pretty penny: top-tour concert tickets averaged $134 last year, up +42% from 2019.
So Americans stay in. Nearly 80% see friends and family less than three times a week.
Read that again.
America has traded their community for their couch.
“Don’t let yourself get too dazzled with Clausewitz because he said something.”

If you choose to limit John Boyd’s work to speed, a loop, and only applicable to the military, you are lost.
If your competitors choose NOT to limit John Boyd’s work to speed, a loop, and only applicable to the military, you are screwed.
Be a part of the movement, not the myth!

A great reminder from @rjpjr12 to read Hayek and actually understand what he was talking about!
Thanks @rjpjr12 for the introduction, the conversation on @NoWayOutcast with @RichB118 was amazing!
