@johnrobb 2/ You're not alone in noticing. The Shift, long emergent, is surfacing as a cascade—not consensus but sudden convergence being named across disparate domains. Surprise, as the prophets foretold, is its experiential signature: like a thief in the night, a rupture of recognition.

Open original document@FrontPorchRepub “It is, therefore, a simple maxim of communication study that any change in the means of communication will produce a chain of revolutionary consequences at every level of culture and politics.” ~ Marshall McLuhan, 1955. Let's add consciousness to that mix, too, shall we?

Copy of tweet here: Just gonna brush the dust off this one, too. Marshall McLuhan: “The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.” 1/2 It's all One Media Picture, of course, along with a Unitive Ecology defined, of late, by a radically-accelerated harvest of consequence, consciousness and disclosure characterizing a Media Event of epochal proportions as one planetary paradigm crashes and another replaces it. What if the dark, mercenary genius of algo-supercharged, exploitative media-ecology's claim upon the private soul is ultimately checked only in recognizing its larger, evolutionary role delivering us to a sunburst of revelation overturning the tables of history itself?
