EC, what Marshall Mcluen meant by the medium is the message was HOW information is dispersed. I know you know this (it is for everyone else-lol).

For instance, when Gutenberg invented the moveable type and books replaced story telling, Mcluen believed that we started to think in a linear fashion rather than in wholeistic fashion of mental pictures.

We were reading word by word left to right. Then TV changed things again.

Mcluen learned perception from Joyce I believe. For instance Mcluen said light is pure information e.g. if you are in a dark closet you cannot see anything, but turn on the light and viola-lol.

If people could just understand how relative each persons reality is maybe we could communicate better.

I have found very few people who can put their egos aside and truly learn from each other.

What makes this situation worse is that there are also right and wrong answers devoid of relativity for all practical purposes-lol.

Torture for instance, obeys the laws of relativity for all practical purposes i.e. the few times one needs to really use it relate to the very small and almost insignificant HUP involved in the trajectory of a pitched baseball.

Bush on the other hand, obeys the quantum world as his ideas always have a high probability of being almost anywhere in the universe. Hard to predict his thought trajectory-lol.
