Two authors not McLuhan who describe a similar theme are The Alphabet vs The Goddess: Conflict Between Word and Image by Schlain, which argues that alphabetic technology kind of conquered the feminine mind;
...and The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Jaynes (which McLuhan utterly panned in a humorous, blistering review in the Globe and Mail) a book which describes what happened to the mind under the thrall of speech and the alphabet: self-awareness.
McLuhan still gives the best and most compelling rendering of the effect but others are onto it. He tackles a logical issue in Jayne’s book; but I still think Janye offers a compelling thesis (though his book is VERY long). McLuhan ends that review, which I have somewhere, with a joke: "it makes as much sense as Women’s Lib in the time of potential nuclear annihilation.”
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. " Not that I'm advocating Revolution here, how about a nice even EVOLUTION
One thing I love about the McLuhans I knew or know — Eric, son of Marshall, and Andrew, son of Eric — is that they are open to discussion of astrology and are in no way dismissive of it. We have discussed it as a branch of media theory and environmental study. It's heartening when people of that level of intelligence are open-minded.
The stars and planets are the pure conscienceness energies of everything that immortally is.
Every soul that has existed is up there....
The truth of Astrology is far more amazing than NASA could ever conceive....
This is why the deceptive religious denominations and governments forbid it's examinations and reality.
It proves God, and disproves the need for mans intercession (priests) to be with God in the heavens. 👍
It also proves the immortally of the soul, so no need for persecution and control.
We come to earth, for a holiday, and to enjoy physicality.
All our friends, family and ancestors that have passed from the light-aether realm (earth density material) are up there, influencing us every day....in pure conscienceness energy (the only thing that can exist in 0°K. Energy not matter.....
We have never been alone,and never will be....
It's amazing isn't it!
You my dear learned friend, map and observe the very essence of what was, is and will be.😁, forevermore.
You Have 0 Friends is Season 14, Episode 4

maybe?
Derrida's "Of Grammatology" and "Dissemination" are works obsessed with addressing exactly these fields of concern.
would you go to Goodreads and provide a series of relevant quotes here so we know what he was thinking? thank you
Heavy stuff - !
major question being . . NOW WHAT?
well, that's the first step...
Outstanding!
The "word", has been digitized and internalization is now projected....
"The space age"....a term misdirected by NASA and the Mr Smithsonians.😂
The only sacred word,
Is the Spoken word.
🎶" The big wheel, keeps on turning, on a simple line ,day by day.."
"One man struggles, while another relaxes"...
The word-bond....
"In the beginning........there was the word....and the word was with God, and the word was God......"
Everything else today is a Gluten-iceberg facsimile.
BTW.
The stars are about to play musical chairs....your charts are very accurate, do you see it..... .....?
Politically, astro logically and categorically.
Have a blessed day,
dear star gazer.
"Oh my God,
It's full of Stars...."
The big blue screen,
Is Showing an error 402,
rogue 42 like....in Deep thought....
Hence, the cube sats and geo engineering, desperation.
The arrow pierces the scorpion king.🪄
A big up to the shakin' Quakers.
Cheers
Michael.
