…The key to, that's it, to quantitism. The first person that I'm praising here is Dr. Spock. The second is Marshall McLuhan. Because McLuhan, an incredible Canadian genius who came along in the 60s and said, the media is the message and the media is the…
…but they're becoming more practical every day to see, you know, that's what happened in China. So, quantum physics and Spock and McLuhan relationship, okay. Now, this brings us to the psychedelic, and I don't know how much time we want to spend on…
…important than the little words that were being written by some clerk at Time magazine. in the medical department. How about McLuhan? I'm trying to think, though, that what else could happen in a person's life that, short from a religious conversion, that…
…a high-tech generation who feel at home with the new language of multimedia graphics. And what's going to happen is what McLuhan predicted, a global village. Kids in Japan will be communicating with the kids in Dallas, Texas, or with London, England.…
…what you say as long as it continues because the brain eats this up, the brain responds, and intelligence is increased. So Spock and McLuhan are my... my sponsors and i give them a lot of credit and let them take the blame too spock has a new book…
…Republican Party, great fabricators, they were nothing. Last Christmas, 700,000 kids could put their hand through and fight. That's all right. McLuhan said it. The medium is the message, and if the kids can do that and play ninja games through the screen,…
…respect the integrity of all other life forms on this earth. I wish I had some of that stuff. Well, I was surprised to hear McLuhan invoke so many times today, and I will do it again. McLuhan had an idea of what he called the global village. And the…
…wish I had some of that stuff. Well, I was surprised to hear McLuhan invoke so many times today, and I will do it again. McLuhan had an idea of what he called the global village. And the global village is coming to be. This is what the crisis that…
…You see, we have collective decision-making apparatus, and hence, we don't make mistakes. You see? So I think that, to return to McLuhan for a moment, what's happening is, as Yeats said in his poem, the center does not hold. Mere anarchy is loosed upon…
…our lives, most of us live in realities others imprinted in our brains by education, by religion, by politics, by the authorities. McLuhan said, if you want to change your mind, change the medium, change the words you use, change the mode of communication.…
…what hits your eyeballs. You control your eyeballs and your eardrums. You direct and manage the media that program your brain. McLuhan said, Who controls the media is programming your mind and programming your brain. If you think you watch a lot of…
…don't say we're right, but... God knows, we're about ready for a new philosophy. I think that the so-called global village that McLuhan talked about is a jump in evolution, like jumping from being chimpanzees to humans. We're going to use our brains, and…
…finish hooking up the audio, make sure we're recording the audio, and then what we'll do is we'll start with a discussion on McLuhan, his ideas, and I think specifically the question I'd like to pose to you is if VR is the medium, what's the message?…
…and I think specifically the question I'd like to pose to you is if VR is the medium, what's the message? And what would McLuhan have thought of VR and the stuff that's happened since his time? And I don't think anyone can actually answer that, but I…
…well, I guess I would call it a global village. Hey, laugh. Laughter Laughter The Internet, for example, if that isn't straight McLuhan, Robo Village. We have a wonderful little program where we have a clip of Marshall. There's a picture, clips, and his…
…you caught it from the master or if you grew it naturally, but Derek is a delight because he's captured the real flavor of McLuhan to me, and that's the bouncy sense of fun and humor. Well, thank you. That's really very kind of you. It's true, isn't…
…true, isn't it? How about a round of applause for Derek? That's fine. So you were going to tell us a very amusing story about McLuhan, speaking of fun, and we got your side track, so come back to that. It was a funny McLuhan story. You started at the…
…roll music is always reflecting the state of the society. Well, it's also your duty, and my duty too, except that I write, McLuhan said it, if you create the new language, if you create the new beat, it becomes new reality. You're literally designing new…
…707, but when you get down to Alabama City, they've never heard of Marshall McLuhan. And that's no accident, because Martin McLuhan, everything he said was to take power away from the authorities. And McLuhan said, McLuhan said, the medium is the message.…
…Marshall McLuhan. And that's no accident, because Martin McLuhan, everything he said was to take power away from the authorities. And McLuhan said, McLuhan said, the medium is the message. What that means is that More important than what you say, the…

…is an electron. Talk about digits, I mean, talk about, yeah. The language of the universe, the language of the brain, is digital. McLuhan said that the future And the aim of this will be a global village, because we'll be able to travel, move our brains…
…under this package that everybody in the world knows, that old red package of masculinity. A new language is developing, just like McLuhan said, a new language is developing. That's the language of the brain, not of the mind. Just like Dr. Wood said,…
…all the software we're working on is the ability to send your eyes and your minds. So we're talking about the, when McLuhan talked about the global village, we're actually doing that. I'm working with, this is at Penn State University here, I'm working…
…we'll be pulling out of our CD-ROM files pictures of what you want to express. And I can add to it and change it. McLuhan was such a prophet. He saw it so clearly that, ironically, the highest technology, which is electronics, is going to bring us back…
…is that everyone in the 21st century is going to have this screen, and there, they're no longer, it's the global village, as McLuhan said, so that you have your own small, real, material, you know, palm tree or pear tree local community that, bang, open…
…the sales pitches, learns how to see through eventually the nature of the insectoid media game. Yeah, I think that it's McLuhan stuff. The media is a message. And that new generation, post-war generation, is best seen as an entirely new evolutionary…
…us a very amusing story about McLuhan, speaking of fun, and we got your side track, so come back to that. It was a funny McLuhan story. You started at the beginning, and we never had a chance to hear it. Yeah, well, I could do a lot of the stuff.…
