Michael Hardner Posted December 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Quote MCLUHAN: Actually, in this case as in most of my work, I'm "predicting" what has already happened and merely extrapolating a current process to its logical conclusion. The Balkanization of the United States as a continental political structure has been going on for some years now, and racial chaos is merely one of several catalysts for change. This isn't a peculiarly American phenomenon; as I pointed out earlier, the electric media always produce psychically integrating and socially decentralizing effects, and this affects not only political institutions within the existing state but the national entities themselves. http://www.digitallantern.net/mcluhan/mcluhanplayboy.htm This prediction came in 1969 !

eyeball Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 On 12/28/2016 at 0:59 PM, Michael Hardner said: I hear you, and your approach is consistent with your laissez-faire philosophy. There are others who think it's a problem, and that people have to deal with it themselves without an official response, ie. govt. intervention. For that approach, I can't see how you would do it without some kind of community standard, ie. 'morals'. There's economics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
