      I don’t see how Lemmy lead to this when you type like no one I’ve ever seen on Lemmy.

      Which is why you are fixated on me, target fixation. Unique and free thinking, outside the Lemmy cult of memes and “Trump stupid!!! Trump diapers!!!” chanting. Cult of media systems. Media cultists. The entire World Wide Web is a race to the bottom of competitive high-speed ignorance now and it is going to blow up in our faces / screen faces. July 6, 2011 the crisis went mainstream via Trump Twitter. Q2 2013 the Internet Research Agency and Cambridge Analytica converged. Now ignorance, mocking and mockery, anti-goodness wins all debates of any topic. Total power of Trumpism and Surkovian governing.

       

      • “We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. Year 1995.

       

      you type like no one I’ve ever seen on Lemmy.

      That’s the point. And you are drawn to intimidate me off the platform. Lemmy community is anti-woke, anti Finnegans Wake Woke. Anti Marshall McLuhan woke. Conformity central.

       

      Five years after Carl Sagan’s year 1995 book (and after Sagan died):

      Howard Bloom

      When conformity enforcers overwhelm diversity generators, all of us are in trouble. Spartans – fundamentalists, militia groups, fascists, and ultra-nationalists – can freeze the machinery of collective mind. A shutdown of urban diversity devastates that exercise of collective acumen we call an economy. Christian Fundamentalism has been shown by the research of sociologists Alfred Darnell and Darren E. Sherkat to retard the learning of children raised within its grasp. Darnell and Sherkat sum up a common Fundamentalist attitude in the following words: “No schooling is better than secular schooling.” Then there’s the paralysis of thought which outright battle brings. When World War I erupted, Sigmund Freud was horrified by the sudden “narrow-mindedness shown by [even] the best intellects, their obduracy, their inaccessibility to the most forcible arguments.” Such closings of the mind may explain why authoritarians are prone to ignore it when their approaches flop. They often goose-step from one year to another rigidly glued to backfiring ways.

        2 comments is hardly a fixation.

        That’s the point. And you are drawn to intimidate me off the platform.

        I’d prefer you don’t leave your erratic typing is very interesting. I am very curious what lead to such a style.

          You are not talking about the subjects, you are talking about me: Stephen Alfred Gutknecht. Fixated on the messenger. www.GutknechtAutism.org website if you want to better understand me. Which is not this Lemmy posting about Las Vegas, Nevada economics.

          I am very curious what lead to such a style.

          “Hyperlexia is a syndrome characterized by a child’s precocious ability to read. It was initially identified by Norman E. Silberberg and Margaret C. Silberberg (1967), who defined it as the precocious ability to read words without prior training in learning to read, typically before the age of five. They indicated that children with hyperlexia have a significantly higher word-decoding ability than their reading comprehension levels.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlexia

          … "They indicated that children with hyperlexia have a significantly higher word-decoding ability than their reading comprehension levels.” … https://www.finnegansweb.com/wiki/index.php/Page_581 James Joyce, Finnegans Wake… You Too can learn to be Word (John 1:1) Woke, Metaphor Woke. Study Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. “Finnegans Wake is the greatest guidebook to media study ever fashioned by man.” - Marshall McLuhan, Newsweek Magazine, p.56, February 28, 1966 - it can happen to you!

            That is fair but it is possible to talk about things without a fixation. You simply type in an extremely unique and interesting manner. I am no more fixated on you than I am on an interesting shaped cloud.

            Hyperlexia

            Very interesting I had not heard of this before. So you have hyperlexia, and this leads you to typing in many tangents?

              Have you read Finnegans Wake published May 4, 1939? You think it’s tangents… I view that is anti-WWW anti-diverse. How many languages can you read?

              this leads you to typing in many tangents?

              James Joyce cracked all languages and gestures, body languages, etc. Where you think I am ignorantly changing topics, I am surfing all human languages at levels you are not “Woke” to, the title of the book is “Woke”, Finnegans Wake.

              I did mention Finnegans Wake to you in the message you are replying to, right? did you just toss that away and ignore it?

                Have you read FInnegans Wake published May 4, 1939?

                No

                How many languages can you read?

                Difficult to say depends on what counts as a dialect and a language and also how fluently I should be able to read for it to count but at its strictest 4 and at its loosest 9.

                did mention Finnegans Wake to you in the message you are replying to, right?

                Not to me no. It was mentioned in the original comment I replied to however I was far more interested in your style of writing than the specific argument you were engaging in with said comment.

                  Not to me no.

                  Ahh, so you jump in with blindness to context.

                  Very common issue these days with Apple iPhone / Apple iPad / Android devices / computers.

                   

                  “Context Blindness: Technology and the Next Stage of Human Evolution (Understanding Media Ecology, 10)”
                  by Eva Berger
                  “Are people with autism giving us a glimpse into our future human condition? Could we be driving our own evolution with our technology and, in fact, be witnessing the beginning of the next stage of human evolution? The thesis at the center of this book is that since we have delegated the ability to read context to contextual technologies such as social media, location, and sensors, we have become context blind. Since context blindness―or caetextia in Latin―is one of the most dominant symptoms of autistic behavior at the highest levels of the spectrum, people with autism may indeed be giving us a peek into our human condition soon. We could be witnessing the beginning of the next stage of human evolution―Homo caetextus.”

                   

                  “Eva Berger is a senior lecturer at the School of Media Studies of the College of Management Academic Studies (COLMAN), where she also served as Dean (2006-2012). She holds a B.A. from the Department of Film and Television at Tel-Aviv University (1985) and an M.A. (1986) and a Ph.D (1991) in Media Ecology from New York University. Dr. Berger has taught at NYU, Tel Aviv University, the Kibbutzim College of Education and the Sam Spiegel Film School, and has been part of the faculty at COLMAN for close to 30 years. She has served on numerous boards and public service organizations including the Israel Peace Initiative, Israel Press Council, and Institute of General Semantics.”

                   

                  Anyway. Finnegans Wake by James Joyce can really help you develop self-awareness of Lemmy technology media systems usage. Repeating: “Finnegans Wake is the greatest guidebook to media study ever fashioned by man.” - Marshall McLuhan, Newsweek Magazine, p.56, February 28, 1966

                    No I was aware of it, it simply wasn’t relevant to my interest which is your unique manner of communication not your thoughts on economics.
