I don't think you get what that quote means. He's talking about the bias of communications and this is no way significant to the discussion at hand. A truth from a book can be represented in other mediums, however both the creator and the consumer are likely to view such meaning through those biases of the medium. Language here is no different than in a book, but how it's engaged with is the difference. Being not a technological determinist myself, I find no need to denigrate this medium and every need to denigrate the user. Thus: Back to Greeks!

Thread got pruned. Posting here to further the charade....

Imagine believing both of these aren't true and we aren't capable of compartmentalising various competitive anxieties engaged by our poly-ideological worshipping minds, capable of holding these anxieties about competition along with some personal narratives we hold about interpersonal relations in competition activities. An agent is first and foremost acting from dissonant conceptions of reality, and the complexity cannot be observed but only coerced to favour one signal translation over the other.

The competitiveness of the left is best utilised in mass and is the best driver of the lefts subjugation by markets seeking to fulfil their desire for infantalization, empathy, and security. Technological fear-mongering is a good market that will always be worth selling into, and the inter-dimensional parasite will always hiss in relation to my awareness, information bracketed and under authority of an infinite negation. While it is true that technology/capital overpowers us because it remains on a time scale persevering in pleasant antagonism well after the individual has time to understand that statistics of human birthrates linked to culture affect moral decision making at a pragmatic level, especially of those that like to play football.

>it's more so caused by conservative tories whose disdane of upper middleclass life in favour of meals at tim hortons rather than starbucks, or at home salad eating the family, the connection was implied across a cold social landscape that uppermiddle class, [sorry] asessories for their snobish, [really sorry about] luxurary, [again, I think you're great] those people who want to tax you into the poor house, [tradgic circumstances tbhs] these people's disdane created a weird clash with anti-intellectual anti opinion, anti bookishness in general. TheTories have so locked themselves to the lower classes in a way that trickles down into the media, and it's backfiring grandly, majestically indeed. Their spirit of national pride can't move to literature because it gives the wrong impression. An openness to foriengers and all. Whats surprising is that they know they need to save the canyoung too, so they play the game when they have to, just to keep one gun no one knows, they're not creative enough unfortunately to see that narrative is the supriour weapon, most indeed, indeed, and they now need it. Hahaha. They play the game now.

Books on mockery as a form of protecting yourself from the knowledge of your inferiority? Books about small penis size and lack of social standing leading to an evil character that the reader will sympathise with in the end? I can't help but feel for all the people that have tried to hurt me throughout my life for no apparent reason, and I want to understand them better. I figure all s/he here would be the best to ask.
