Weird Studies/McLuhan
03 Apr 2025 - 08 Jan 2026
- Late 2025 followup episode Distant Early Warnings: A Return to Marshall McLuhan's 'Book of Probes' - Pocket Casts
- Probes as mechanisms (contraptions)
- "Advertising is the major art form of the modern era" (or something like that)
- Of course they hate this idea. 🔲
- McLuhan as mountebank/showman as well as very serious Catholic. And at least by implication, hermeticist.
- Probes as cluster bombs, they look like toys but will explode your mind
