    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.

          You thought my direct linking of Finnegans Wake was not relevant to me and communicating with me. “Your interests” reek of harassment and active measures against these topics and how they relate to Twitter owner Elon Musk, Donald Trump Truth Social, and Rupert Murdoch Fox News. Anti-literacy badgering. Anti-woke, Anti Finnegans Woke. MAGA values messaging.

           

          • “In Donald Trump, we have a frightening Venn diagram consisting of three circles: the first is extreme present hedonism; the second, narcissism; and the third, bullying behavior. These three circles overlap in the middle to create an impulsive, immature, incompetent person who, when in the position of ultimate power, easily slides into the role of tyrant, complete with family members sitting at his proverbial “ruling table.” Like a fledgling dictator, he plants psychological seeds of treachery in sections of our population that reinforce already negative attitudes.” ― Bandy X Lee, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. October 3, 2017. Page 44.

            I had no intention of harassing you. I simply took an interest in your extremely unique means of communication. I will disengage here as I seem to be causing you distress.

              I simply took an interest in your extremely unique means of communication.

              I keep mentioning:

              1. James Joyce

              2. Marshall McLuhan

              But you think Finnegans Wake “isn’t of interest” in your attraction to my Lemmy electric media messages.
