THINK ON THESE:

"To say that a technology or extension of man creates a new environment is a much better way of saying that the medium is the message. This environment is always 'invisible' and its content is always the old technology."--Marshall McLuhan

"The proper study of communication begins and ends in what people imagine they are for, not in what they imagine communication is for."--Lee Thayer

"The notion of a separate thinker, of an I distinct from the experience, comes from memory and from the rapidity with which thought changes. There is not something or someone experiencing experience! You do not feel your feelings, think your thoughts, or sense your sensations any more than you hear hearing, see sight, or smell smelling."--Alan Watts

"Many 'observations' are but implications of the particular terminology in terms of which the observations are made. In brief, much that we take as observations about reality may be but the spinning out of possibilities implicit in our particular choice of terms." --Kenneth Burke

"To exist is to plagiarize."--Cioran

Douglas Hofsteader puzzles: "What would this sentence be like if it were not self-referential?"

"Peaches are too good to act as words; we are too much interested in peaches themselves. But little noises are the ideal conveyers of concepts, for they give us nothing but their meaning."--Susanne K. Langer

"Expressive operations take place between thinking language and speaking thought; not, as we thoughtlessly say, between thought and language." --Maurice Merleau-Ponty

"We always express our thoughts with the words that lie at hand... we have at any moment only the thought for which we have at hand the words."--Friedrich Nietzsche

"The collision of two galaxies and the salivation of Pavlov's dog, different as they are, are far more alike than either is like the simplest act of naming. Naming stands at a far greater distance from Pavlov's dog than the latter does from a galactic collision."--Walker Percy

"No matter how eloquently a dog may bark, he cannot tell you that his parents were poor but honest." --Bertrand Russell

Not always sure what I was going to say until I had shot the video, I now would change some of the things said or the way they were said.

Although my 'youtube vlogging' began as an experiment and observation in new media, I decided to leave the videos up (at least most of them), despite their raw and unpolished character. I am in the early stages of writing a book on technology, new media, and the human condition, and Youtube will be included in my analysis. ❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐❐


My academic publications can be found in many different scholarly journals, including: Communication Theory, Philosophy and Rhetoric, Semiotica, Communication Studies, Human Studies, Explorations in Media Ecology, ETC: A Review of General Semantics, The Atlantic Journal of Communication, and The American Journal of Semiotics.


Please buy or help your local library get copies of my books:
SELFHOOD AND AUTHENTICITY

Hey I just got your book in the mail... Communication Uncovered.... I'm skimming it now pumping it for all the information I can get out of it.... That way I will have more time to watch you on You Tube. I am pulling your leg of course :-P

Have you read Sam Harris' book, "The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values?" If so, I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the book. If not, then I suggest you check it out!

And by the way, I'm a big fan. I especially enjoy your talks about stoicism.

"If you reflect a little on this you will see that that which we call life is nothing but the zeal to undertake a certain project or program of existence. And the ego of each one of us is only this imaginary program. Everything that you do is in service of this program."
Written by Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gassett, 1939 in "Man, as Project" trans. to English by Samuel Moody ( http://philosophy.lander.edu/i­­ntro/articles/ortega-a.pdf )

Now, here is one philosophical work capable, perhaps, of providing a foundation of agreement, upon which a productive conversation between you and DoNotGod might proceed to 'get off the ground'.
